Outsource2india provides quick and accurate BOL digitizing services for shipping and transportation companies that have migrated to electronic BOLs.
We access the BOL data from the company's secure servers or over VPN (Virtual Private Network). Our expert data entry teams input the details and generate digitized e-BOLs within a few hours of the transaction. Accurate and completed e-BOLs are saved in the shipping company's secure servers long before their loading trucks get back for unloading and shipping out of cargo.
Originally meant simply as a ship's cargo list, today a BOL serves as a contract of carriage between the shipper of goods and the carrier of those goods (can be a trucking company, railroad, a ship or air freighter). The web definition of the BOL states the 3 main purposes of a BOL as
The BOL also contains the list and description of goods consigned, details of the shipper, consignee, the place from where they are shipped and the destination they are headed to.
Thus, the BOL is critical in the entire shipment process. Multiple copies of it have to be sent to all parties involved at both ends. Just this process took anywhere between 5 to 6 days, if not more. Paper copies of the BOL were relayed back and forth between shipper, carrier, forwarder, consignee and often the consignee's bank. Continuous review and modification to the contents of the BOL often added to the delay.
However, new electronic BOL (e-BOL) systems are being increasingly used by many transportation and shipping companies. This powerful and totally secure electronic system allows the International Bill of Lading to be drawn up electronically, checked, modified and printed online, complete with digital signatures of concerned persons – all in less than half the time that was taken earlier.
The e-BOL creation process at Outsource2india follows a series of well-defined steps. Here are the main steps in the process we follow for a leading trucking company located in the U.S. -
Thus e-BOLs pertaining to each consignment is readied, long before the consignment itself has arrived back at the carrier terminal. Terminal Managers access the e-BOL to prepare unloading manifests and to send out multiple, encrypted copies to all parties involved, as per state and federal regulations.
