Use cases
Quantum Shipment Monitor
How to configure shipment monitoring by booking, BL, or container and how to read the daily report.
Updated: 2026-05-17
What it is for
Quantum Shipment Monitor helps import and logistics teams stop checking carrier portals manually.
Users load operations by booking, BL, or container. Quantum checks available sources, detects relevant changes, and sends an email summary.
Best for
- Teams monitoring many active operations.
- Users who need ETA, ETD, arrival, or exception alerts.
- Companies that want a daily report without consolidating information by hand.
- Operations where checking one reference takes several minutes and repeats every day.
Initial setup
To get started you need:
- Report recipients.
- Report language.
- Time zone.
- Shipments to monitor.
- Execution frequency.
Each operation should include carrier, reference, and reference type when applicable. You can also upload an Excel or CSV file when you have many rows.
What the report shows
The email groups operations with changes first and places operations without changes below.
Each card shows:
- Carrier.
- Monitored reference.
- Reference type.
- Internal reference, if provided.
- ETA and ETD when available.
- Detected status.
- Shipment progress line.
Statuses you may see
- No changes: no relevant difference from the previous check.
- Changed: a date, status, or operational field changed.
- Arrived: the source indicates arrival, completion, or nationalization depending on the case.
- Needs review: the reference does not exist, the format is invalid, the source did not respond, or manual review is required.
Success criteria
The automation is working well when a user can load operations, schedule checks, and receive a clear email with changes, arrivals, and review items without opening every carrier portal.
