The eBOL (electronic Bill of Lading) is an innovative replacement for the traditional paper-based bill of lading. Developed by Advanced Solutions the eBOL enables the seamless transfer of both traditional and enhanced bill of lading information.
Key Features of eBOL:
- Automation – Streamlines logistics operations by automating the bill of lading process.
- Track and Trace – Supports real-time tracking and tracing solutions of shipments.
- Digital data transfer – Facilitates the digital transfer of data from shipper to consignee, eliminating the need for unproductive rekeying of information within the supply chain.
The Advanced eBOL standard also supports paper-based transfers while enhancing data exchange through standard APIs, enabling the smooth transfer of eBOL data from shipper to carrier to consignee.
Unique Advantage:
The eBOL standard stands out from other electronic document solutions by operating without dependency on connectivity, ensuring uninterrupted data transfer.
In 2021 Advanced Solutions started to work collaboratively with Shippers and Carriers to continue adoption of the worldwide standard for eBOL (See eBOL standard) as a separate initiative, documentation will be made available as development continues.
v3 of the eBOL standard was released in 2024
