Learning
Structured learning paths that connect theory with the real messages you analyse every day.
Every industry process end to end: the messages involved, the real-world example, the process flow and the associations that publish the binding rulebooks.
Transport & logistics
Shipper books transport (IFTMIN / 204); carrier replies with status events (IFTSTA / 214) until proof of delivery.
Messages
Common standards
Parties: Shipper ↔ carrier
Practice example
A shipper books a partial load Hamburg–Milan; the carrier returns pickup, border and delivery status events that feed the customer's tracking page.
