Bookings are received from the Client into the system (e.g. via the Booking API endpoint)
Bookings need to be data-enriched as needed, to complete any vital missing information (based on who the Client is) e.g. consignor, consignee, responsible SEKO agent - this completes the Booking Model
SEKO operators see new Bookings on their dashboards, arranged in a priority order e.g. in collection / creation date ascending order
A SEKO operator selects a Booking and creates a Workflow from it
The system generates the Workflow using configured Templates that may be client-specific
The SEKO operator can then make edits to the Workflow e.g. to add new Tasks such as extra TRANSIT legs (to assign to a different Carrier) or extra Site Survey instructions
