Booking to delivery: shipment lifecycle in a courier workspace

Long-form guides aligned to Doorear modules—operations, finance & procurement.

A single system of record

Forward booking with AWB-style orders gives teams one place to create and revise consignments. Fewer errors mean fewer disputes with customers and partners.

Handoffs you can explain

Bags, manifests, inward legs, and delivery runs model how freight moves from first mile to proof of delivery. Clear stages make handoffs auditable when something slips.

Not a consumer tracking portal

The core B2B story is the operator workspace. Utility tracking and coverage routes support operations; positioning stays on teams running the network—not a standalone consumer parcel app.
