How Can I Automate a Notification When a Shipment Reaches a Milestone?
You automate milestone notifications by triggering an alert the moment a shipment crosses a defined point, like customs clearance or last-mile dispatch, without anyone manually checking status. On Jestor, this runs through automation tied to milestone status fields.
Stakeholders waiting to know when a shipment reaches a key milestone, without automatic notification, either check repeatedly or stay uninformed until someone remembers to update them.
What manual milestone notification costs
- Stakeholders checking repeatedly for updates that could be automated
- Delay between a shipment reaching a milestone and stakeholders actually knowing
- Whoever owns the shipment remembering to notify every relevant stakeholder manually
- Frustration from an inefficient, manual notification process
How automated milestone notifications work
- A shipment crossing a defined milestone triggers an automatic notification
- Notifications reach relevant stakeholders configured for that milestone
- This can happen via alert, email, or WhatsApp, depending on preference
- Nobody needs to remember to manually notify anyone about a specific milestone
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Automatic notification removes the burden of manually informing stakeholders
- Stakeholders stay informed at the moment a milestone happens, not after a delay
- This reduces the repeated checking that stakeholders would otherwise do
- This scales from a handful of shipments to a high-volume operation
