Separate responsibility from ownership
A shipment may use your own resources or an external partner. Define the allocation responsibility and permitted access for both paths.
Bring both paths into shipment follow-up
Use the agreed status and document process after assignment. A common operational record helps the dispatch team follow work across participating organisations.

Review the recorded costs
Keep shipment costs and authorised custody records connected where configured. Fleet selection remains an operational decision unless a separate capability has been agreed.
Practical questions
Can one operation use both fleet types?
The mixed model combines own resources and external partners in the agreed transport workflow.
Is fleet selection optimised automatically?
Automatic optimal selection is not claimed.
Do all participants have equal access?
No. Access follows the agreed roles and configuration.
