Partial Shipment Handling
Partial shipment handling is the process of sending only a portion of a larger order when the complete quantity is unavailable or some goods in the order are delayed. This is a common scenario in logistics when commodities are obtained from different sources, or inventory levels fluctuate. Managing partial shipments necessitates clear communication with customers, careful tracking of partial deliveries, and extensive documentation to ensure no items are overlooked.
CargoWise effortlessly integrates partial shipment handling, allowing logistics teams to manage and track shipments of various order segments. This feature promotes customer satisfaction by allowing for flexible delivery schedules while ensuring that the remaining items are delivered on time. Partial shipment handling also includes accurate invoicing for dispatched goods and managing any order changes, such as altered shipping dates for back-ordered items. Businesses can improve processes and keep control over customer demands by managing partial shipments efficiently.
