Stakeholder-Based Permissions

Granular Access Control for Transparent Logistics Collaboration

What It Is

Quantainer is built for collaboration—but only when it’s authorized. Our permissions system ensures that every user can access only the data they’re entitled to, based on their role, business relationship, and operational stake.

This feature protects sensitive logistics data while enabling real-time collaboration between freight forwarders, port operators, customs agents, depots, clients, and third-party contractors.

Why It Matters

In container logistics, many stakeholders touch the same asset—but they don’t all need the same visibility. A shipping line may need location data. A fumigator may need inspection photos. A client may need the delivery certificate—but not internal handling logs.

Without proper access control, this leads to:

  • Data leakage
  • Delayed approvals
  • Manual gatekeeping
  • Compliance violations

Quantainer solves this with dynamic, role-based access management that respects privacy while unlocking efficiency.

How It Works

Every registered user is linked to one or more companies or organizations, and is assigned a role with clearly defined visibility rules. Access is granted automatically based on:

  • The container(s) or job(s) they’re involved in
  • The documents or events they’ve initiated or been assigned to
  • The permissions set by the business or admin inviting them

Data is never shared globally or publicly. It only becomes visible to users who have a verifiable stake in the workflow—such as ownership, inspection, transport, documentation, or compliance responsibility.

Examples

  • A client can view their own shipment history, container location, and received documents.
  • A transport company can only see assigned job data, not internal depot logs or unrelated certificates.
  • A biosecurity officer can review and sign off on quarantine entries—but not edit transport notes.
  • A subscriber added to a job receives scoped access to relevant files and container IDs—no more, no less.

Key Features

  • Role- and stake-based permission engine
  • Scoped access to container logs, photos, forms, and certificates
  • Secure sharing via time-limited QR codes or links
  • No admin overhead—access is granted automatically based on workflow participation
  • Fully auditable with change and access logs

Built for Trust

Our permissions system is designed to support compliance, transparency, and collaboration at scale. You control who sees what—and we enforce that digitally, without manual filtering or third-party email chains.

Quantainer helps you build stronger logistics partnerships with clear boundaries and shared accountability.
