Parse incoming freight requests, compare carrier quotes and create the shipment and bill of lading inside the existing shipping systems.
LogisticsA large third-party logistics provider receives thousands of freight quote requests. Employees previously interpreted emails and attachments, matched accounts, classified freight and created each bill of lading by hand.
That sequence delays responses and consumes operations capacity. Shipment details and account-specific rules must carry through the carrier quote into the shipment record without repeated entry.
Select a stage to see the records it uses, the action it takes and the result.
Exceptions route to employees automatically. Standard requests can complete straight through.
Straight-through processing reduces manual entry across the whole quote-to-BOL sequence.
Operations can return quotes and shipment documents without waiting for sequential manual processing.
A large logistics deployment reported 71% straight-through quote-to-BOL automation and 447,000 hours saved annually, with approximately $2M in margin-generating capacity.
Hours are annualised; the publication does not state the underlying measurement period.
