How It Works: Streamlined Shipment Management

Here's a quick guide to how the Shipment Tracking Management module operates within BSTD:

  1. Creating a New Shipment: Administrators can initiate a new shipment by providing essential information such as the LR Number, origin and destination locations, customer name, and mobile contact details.
  2. Unique Identifiers: Each newly created shipment is automatically assigned a unique `shipment_id`, enabling precise tracking and management from the centralized dashboard.
  3. Real-time Status Updates: The status of any shipment can be updated at any time, with an optional feature to include live location data for enhanced accuracy.
  4. Automated Tracking Logs: Every status change automatically generates a detailed tracking log, which is visible in the shipment's history section, providing a complete audit trail.
  5. Direct Communication: For immediate client communication, administrators can directly call or send a WhatsApp message to the customer from the respective shipment card, improving responsiveness.

This streamlined workflow ensures that you maintain full control and transparency over your logistics operations.

User Interactions & Actions: Empowering Your Team

The BSTD Shipment Tracking module offers a range of direct actions for efficient user interaction:

  • Add New Shipment: Easily initiate a new shipment, defining delivery expectations and including all necessary contact details for seamless communication.
  • Update Status: Select from a list of predefined status stages (e.g., "Picked Up," "In Transit," "Delivered," "Delayed") to reflect the current state of the shipment accurately.
  • Add Tracking Update: Manually log real-time events such as unexpected delays, specific milestones, or new locations, along with a timestamp and a descriptive note.
  • Edit Shipment Details: Modify essential information like the origin or destination location, customer name, or expected delivery dates directly and efficiently via inline editing.
  • Delete Shipment or Update: Permanently remove an entire shipment record or a specific tracking update. All deletion actions require a confirmation via SweetAlert modals to prevent accidental data loss.

Security and Access Control

At BSTD, the security and integrity of your shipment data are paramount:

  • Secure Operations: All operations performed within the module are fortified with CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) tokens and are protected through authenticated user sessions, ensuring only authorized personnel can make changes.
  • Client-Side Filtering: Data is fetched securely from the server and then filtered client-side, providing instant rendering, sorting, and search capabilities without compromising security.
  • Confirmation Modals: To safeguard against unintentional data loss, both deletion and editing actions require explicit confirmation via SweetAlert modals.

Note: This module is meticulously optimized for seamless experiences across web, mobile, and tablet devices. Crucially, no sensitive API endpoints are directly exposed in the front-end, ensuring robust security measures are maintained at all times.
