Logistics & Supply Chain
Keep every link in your supply chain synchronized in real time
In logistics, a late update means a warehouse isn't prepared and a customer sees the wrong ETA. Convoy ensures every tracking event, inventory change, and status update reaches every system in real time.
When information delays cascade through your supply chain
In logistics, a single missed event update can ripple through your entire operation.
Delayed updates cascade through the supply chain
When a shipment status change doesn't propagate in real time, downstream systems operate on stale data. Warehouses prepare for the wrong shipment, drivers get outdated routes, and customers see inaccurate delivery windows.
Partner integrations are fragile
Logistics involves dozens of partners: carriers, warehouses, customs brokers, last-mile delivery. Each has different webhook endpoint reliability. A single failing partner endpoint shouldn't block updates to everyone else.
Volume spikes during peak seasons
Holiday seasons, flash sales, and promotional events can multiply shipment volumes overnight. Your webhook infrastructure needs to handle these spikes without dropping tracking updates.
Visibility across the chain is critical
Supply chain managers need to know that every event was delivered to every system. Without delivery logs and monitoring, failed webhooks create blind spots in your operational visibility.
Keep every partner and system in sync
Convoy gives logistics teams reliable, real-time event delivery across every link in the supply chain.
Fan-out to multiple systems
A single shipment event often needs to reach your WMS, TMS, customer portal, and partner systems simultaneously. Convoy fans out events to multiple endpoints reliably, ensuring every system stays synchronized.
Circuit breaker for partner endpoints
When a logistics partner's system goes down, Convoy's circuit breaker isolates that endpoint without affecting delivery to other partners. Events queue up and are delivered once the partner recovers.
Static IP addresses for firewall rules
Enterprise logistics partners often require webhook traffic from known IP addresses. Convoy delivers from static IPs, simplifying firewall configurations for your partners.
Real-time delivery monitoring
Monitor webhook delivery health across all your partner integrations from a single dashboard. Identify failing endpoints, review retry history, and get notified when delivery issues arise.
Automatic retries ensure nothing is lost
Network blips, partner downtime, and DNS issues are common in logistics. Convoy retries failed deliveries with exponential backoff, ensuring every shipment update eventually reaches its destination.
Event filtering by route or region
Let partners subscribe only to events relevant to their operations. A last-mile carrier in Berlin doesn't need updates about shipments in Tokyo. Convoy's subscription filtering keeps integrations efficient.
Frequently asked questions
How does Convoy handle logistics partner API outages?
Convoy's circuit breaker detects persistently failing endpoints and pauses delivery to prevent backpressure. Events are queued and delivered automatically once the partner's system recovers. Your team is notified of the outage so they can follow up if needed.
Can different logistics partners receive different events?
Yes. Convoy supports fine-grained subscription filtering. Each partner can subscribe to specific event types, regions, or routes. A last-mile carrier only receives events for their coverage area, while your WMS gets everything.
How does Convoy handle peak season volume spikes?
Convoy's architecture scales automatically to handle traffic spikes. Whether it's Black Friday shipping volumes or seasonal peaks, the system absorbs bursts without dropping events or increasing latency.
Do you support static IP addresses for enterprise partners?
Yes. Convoy delivers webhooks from consistent egress IP addresses. This is essential for enterprise logistics partners who require IP allowlisting in their firewall configurations.
