What is a Bill of Lading ?

A bill of lading (B/L) is a document that establishes the terms of a contract between a shipper and a transportation company, under which freight is to be moved between specified points, for a specified charge. It serves as a receipt, a contract of carriage, and a document of title to the goods.

How is a Bill of Lading Processed by VeeMove ?

VeeMove provides its expertise in the area of bill of lading data entry and helps in standardizing the bills of lading to ensure that the shipper, the carrier, and the customer (the consignee) of the goods receive accurate information needed for processing of the goods.

The B/L data entry process at VeeMove adheres to a sequence of definite steps which include:

VeeMove receives the scanned Bill of Lading from the client's server.
Our expert data entry teams access the bill of lading and begin the digitizing process using our advanced in-house developed software.
Details such as freight bill number, date of shipment, weight, pallets and pieces, shipper and consignee particulars, details of shipment, etc. are captured using advanced software.
All required fields contained in the scanned bill of lading forms are carefully checked and then entered into a given electronic format.
Verification and auditing of the bill of lading for any discrepancies is conducted.
As in all our processes, our experienced data entry teams' focus is on maintaining accuracy and precision to deliver quality results.
The bill of lading, which has been digitized, verified and audited, is now ready and sent back to the client servers.

The bill of lading form has been altered by most shippers, with the intention of tailoring it in accordance with the requirements of the carrier and the consignee, for scheduling and unloading of the shipment.

The standard bill of lading document and guidelines tackle these differences, therefore reducing processing time and maintaining accuracy of the bill.

Today, the B/L serves as a document of utmost importance in the area of shipments, especially since it is used for the scheduling and documentation of shipments, as well as input to carrier EDI transactions.
