Dock employees can generate a bill of lading, incorporate it into a PDF file for printing, and then use signature capture generate a signed bill of lading. Easily prove truck disembarkation times and loading statuses, and then store those large files affordably in the cloud for later use.

Capture Load documentation, Photo Validation
Our customers asked for it, and we delivered. AdvancedBOL lets you capture load photos to reduce chargebacks to load quality on receipt. Show customers that products were loaded, stacked, and handled properly, and use that proof to shift the responsibility to the carrier or intermediary.
Capture Driver Signatures
Using digital signature capture, the platform instantly generates a signed bill of lading and saves it electronically for simple retrieval and review at a later date. Enter driver names, pro numbers, and trailer numbers directly into the system while the truck is being loaded to save time and reduce errors.

Utilize Standard or Custom Bill of Lading Formats
Using standard-designed templates saves money in a world where bill of lading template design can cost upwards of $10,000. Already using an established bill of lading format? No problem. With slight modifications, AdvancedBOL supports all templates. No corporate form changes or legal approvals necessary.
Capture carriers’ or customers’ paper bills of lading
When a carrier hands over a paper document, it can be scanned, converted into a PDF (using optical character recognition), and then fed directly into your ERP. Instantly generate a signed bill of lading and save it electronically for easy retrieval.

What our customers say
“Five minutes after the truck leaves, the head office has a copy of the signed bill of lading. This saves a lot of paper handling.”
“Until now, we kept paper copies in the shipping office. I do not think we could have found a copy of a bill of lading if we needed it. Having it all in SAP makes it easier to access and saves us time and money.”
