- How It Works
From Purchase Order to Cargo Ready
Four steps where Kesco manages the work between your procurement team and your freight moving.
1
PO Receipt
Order details are entered into the Kesco Platform. We align with each supplier on production timelines and confirm cargo ready dates.
2
Milestone Tracking
We monitor production progress against your CRDs, following up with factories directly and updating status in real time.
3
Exception Management
Delays are flagged and escalated before they impact your shipment window. We communicate options, not problems.
4
Cargo Handoff
Once cargo is confirmed ready, we hand off directly to our booking and consolidation teams to execute the shipment.

Order Management Questions
How our PO management service works, what we cover, and how it connects to the rest of Control Tower.
Order management in logistics is the process of tracking and coordinating purchase orders from issuance through cargo ready date. This includes monitoring supplier production milestones, communicating with factories on readiness, managing exceptions when delays occur, and handing confirmed cargo off to booking and transportation teams.
We track production milestones against your cargo ready dates, communicate directly with suppliers on your behalf, flag delays before they affect your shipment window, and coordinate handoff to our booking and consolidation teams when cargo is confirmed ready.
Order management is the upstream function in Kesco's Control Tower. Once cargo is confirmed ready, our team hands off directly to booking management to secure carrier space, and buyers consolidation to coordinate multi-origin cargo into a single container load.
Yes. Multi-origin order management across multiple suppliers and factory locations is a core use case. We track each supplier's readiness independently and coordinate timing across origins to support efficient consolidation and booking execution.
