Shipments
Types of Shipments
The Parsyl platform supports two variations on Shipment tracking to better support our
customer needs.
● Manual Shipments - planned shipments allow the user to input more specific details
about their shipment, and plan for them ahead of the shipment date if they wish to use
Parsyl to organize their orders and upcoming deliveries.
● Automatic Shipments - quick shipments do not have the same planning and scheduling
options as the planned shipments feature and are more appropriate for unplanned, quick
trips that need tracking and monitoring throughout.
Manual Shipments
If your organization is utilizing the Manual Shipments feature, when you log into the Parsyl Web
app, and navigate to the Shipments options in the menu, you will see Shipments overview page
with options to view quick stats about all of your shipments in the system, along with a filterable
or sortable list to view all shipments.
Column definitions:
● Name: user created name for the shipment
