Multichannel transport orders: connect emails, portals, EDI and calls

Inbound transport flow management
One transport record, even when information comes from everywhere.
Vigilo connects emails, documents, portals, EDI, and other approved events to preserve the continuity of each transport record.
Context rebuilt
Verified action
In brief
What the workflow actually covers.
Managing inbound transport flows means recognizing each new event, connecting it to the right record, and understanding how it changes the current state. The channel remains a source; the transport record becomes the unit of understanding and action.
Every company combines its own channels, TMS, and priority rules. Vigilo adapts a shared product foundation to that reality, then the workflow is configured, tested, and approved with the team instead of being rebuilt as an entirely separate integration for every environment.
The operational challenge
Data entry is only one part of the challenge.
Context, operating rules, and evidence must remain consistent before and after every action.
01
An order created through EDI may later be changed by email or phone.
02
Two sources may contain different values without an explicit priority rule.
03
Supporting documents remain scattered across tools outside the TMS.
04
The team must rebuild the timeline before it can make a decision.
The workflow
From incoming event to verified result.
Every step is visible, measurable, and limited to the approved scope.
- 01
Observe
Detect the event while preserving its source and timestamp.
- 02
Identify
Find references, contacts, and candidate records using your matching methods.
- 03
Connect
Attach the event to the right record or make the ambiguity explicit.
- 04
Update
Apply approved priority rules while preserving the value that was replaced.
- 05
Propagate
Prepare the required actions in the applications selected for the workflow.
- 06
Trace
Keep the useful timeline intact through invoice control.
Explicit scope
Adaptation remains controlled.
Feasibility and the level of autonomy are approved in the actual operating environment.
Coverage for each channel is configured and approved using real examples.
A newer source never overwrites another one without an explicit rule.
Events that cannot be matched are escalated with the possible candidate records.
Deployment can begin with two channels and a single order type.
