What you see when tracking IAG Cargo (British Airways) cargo

Air cargo reports against standard IATA milestones rather than the continuous scanning you get from a courier: received from shipper (RCS), manifested (MAN), departed (DEP), arrived (ARR), received from flight (RCF) and delivered (DLV). Shyppy plots those on a map and timeline, tells you which flight the consignment is on, and emails you when the next milestone lands or the arrival estimate moves.
