What This Capability Governs
This capability governs how shipments move through physical logistics networks across multiple transportation modes and execution partners. It coordinates routing, handoffs, and execution events to ensure that physical movement aligns with upstream intent, policy, and compliance requirements.
Rather than treating each carrier or mode as a silo, physical flow is managed as a continuous, governed execution lifecycle.
Inputs
Multimodal Execution and Physical Flow ingests execution signals and operational data from multiple sources, including:
Order and shipment releases
Routing and service level requirements
Carrier and 3PL availability signals
Warehouse and fulfillment node events
Real-time transportation status updates
All inputs are normalized to support consistent execution across modes and partners.
Controls Enforced
This capability enforces execution governance across physical logistics flows, including:
Mode and carrier selection policies
Routing and service level constraints
Handoff validation between execution partners
Exception detection and escalation rules
Chain of custody continuity
Controls ensure that physical execution remains aligned with contractual, operational, and regulatory requirements.
Execution Outputs
Once orchestration decisions are applied, this capability produces execution outputs across the logistics network, including:
Carrier and 3PL execution instructions
Multimodal routing plans
Shipment handoff confirmations
Event and milestone updates
Persistent shipment identity propagation
Execution outputs remain synchronized across systems and partners throughout the shipment lifecycle.
Why This Capability Exists
This capability is designed for enterprises operating complex, multimodal supply chains where shipments pass through multiple carriers, facilities, and jurisdictions. It enables coordinated execution, reduces handoff friction, and provides end-to-end traceability without disrupting existing carrier or 3PL systems.
