Amended bookings retain their documents in one system but lose them in the customer view.
Fast restoration of document visibility pulls against preserving the access boundaries that protect shipment records.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My broker asked for the packing list again, and it’s sitting somewhere I can’t reach.”
Malaika Girma · Supply Chain Manager
Manages inbound container shipments for an importer and relies on shipment documents to prepare customs and receiving teams.
What is at stake
Amended container bookings can hold uploaded documents in the Document Platform while customers see none in the Client Application. You have to weigh a quick recovery against preserving document access boundaries.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- customer access vs document permissions
- rapid release vs retrieval reliability
- local repair vs fallback complexity
Why Flexport
The Client Application is where importers coordinate freight and customs work from the shipment record.
