What is a Shipment Lifecycle?

Every shipment has a lifecycle that is detailed in the Shippabo platform. This ensures visibility and predictability by allowing users to know where in the shipping process a shipment is.

In short, the lifecycles of a shipment are as follows:

• Planning
• Request
• Proposal
  • Expired
• Pending
• Booked
• Transiting
  • Arriving
  • Arriving Inland
• Delivered
• Completed

We also have a more comprehensive guide which provides a little more detail on each step of the lifecycle.

Lifecycle indicators can be found in individual shipments on the overview page, beneath the map.

If a shipment is cancelled at any point during the shipping process, it will be marked as Cancelled.
