Definition & Explanation

A parcel leaves a sorting center, a container is loaded onto a vessel, a delivery is completed—each such event can be captured and streamed in real time to all interested systems. Event streaming is the continuous collection, transmission, and processing of operational events (from WMS, TMS, sensor gateways, or API hooks) to provide logistics teams immediate visibility into shipments, inventory, and equipment status. Unlike traditional batch reporting (which arrives hours or days later), event streaming enables instantaneous monitoring and automated responses across the supply chain.
