A client partner is any organization you work closely with to share events and documents via the TradeLens platform, either as a client or as a supplier.
A client partner is different from a network member in that they provide specific events and documents at the request of their client who has purchased the TradeLens platform.

Client partners
By agreeing to work through the TradeLens platform, a client partner can help to support your supply chain goals. Instead of sharing information over emails and paper, these partners can upload and share documentation to a single platform.
Examples
Inland Transportation: confirms pick-up, delivery to port, pick-up from destination port, and final delivery.
Customs Broker: receives upstream documents, creates and uploads customs clearance documents, files customs declarations.
Freight Forwarders / Third-Party Logistics Providers (3PLs): places bookings, send shipping instructions, manages POs, and uploads packing lists and commercial invoices.
Inland Container Services: Warehouses and distribution centers and CFS locations can contribute container stuffing and stripping events, receipt of goods confirmation, and any additional documentation uploads.
