Switch the carrier feed to webhooks before cutover

You’re the software engineer. Your team is in the room. Printed Aug 6, 2026.

A mandatory integration change can make continuity depend on behavior that cannot be fully rehearsed.

Teams must preserve trusted shipment state while accepting a new delivery model under a fixed external deadline.

Who you’d be doing this for

“If this carrier goes dark, my team will be chasing status through emails all week.”

Alicia Souza · Global Freight Control Tower Lead

Oversees air and ocean shipment exceptions for a manufacturer with time-critical inbound materials.

What is at stake

The carrier retires its polling feed in 45 days, and the webhook replacement uses different auth and different event meanings. You have to prove shipment states and ETA inputs stay correct before you can test at full volume.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • cutover speed vs. proof of correctness
  • webhook resilience vs. duplicate-state risk
  • continuity demands vs. security controls
  • managed shortcut vs. platform ownership

Why Project44

At Project44, carrier interface changes can have broad effects because movement data is expected to remain usable across active freight networks.
