Shipment notification enters the logistics workflow the moment a dispatch order is triggered: the shipper or carrier informs the consignee or logistics partner of the upcoming delivery before the goods arrive. The message – electronic or paper-based – typically covers dispatch date, goods description, number of packages, weight, and mode of transport. This advance notice gives the receiver time to allocate dock space, adjust staffing, and prepare goods-receipt entries in the warehouse system. While often used interchangeably with ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice), shipment notification is the broader term, encompassing any form of pre-arrival communication regardless of data format or degree of automation.
