Manage all assigned responsibilities by performing inspections that include taking photographs and noting any damages on diagrams or images, while also collecting signatures during both pickup and delivery processes. This includes generating an Electronic Bill of Lading (EBOL) and uploading necessary documents for streamlined access. Furthermore, provide estimated time of arrival (ETA) and status updates, issue invoices, and share real-time locations with the dispatch team, while keeping track of expenses as they occur, including the ability to scan VIN barcodes for adding, updating, or confirming vehicle information. Fleets will be empowered to share their locations with both customers and dispatchers, which will significantly enhance the precision of estimated arrival times due to increased visibility. Additionally, invoices can be created instantly after a delivery! This comprehensive EBOL system supports digital inspections and e-signatures, enabling the formation of high-quality BOLs for drivers, which can be printed or emailed with a single click. All relevant company and load information is pre-filled, which removes the burden of manual data entry. Effortlessly track and analyze all costs associated with fuel, tolls, lodging, and repairs with ease, further streamlining your operational processes. Ultimately, the efficiency and convenience of this system contribute to a more organized and productive workflow.
