Electronic bill of freight
Constant control over loose freight transport
Existing status
- Each bill of freight is printed in multiple copies, e.g. for: the sender, the sender’s weighmaster, the carrier, the recipient and the recipient’s weighmaster.
- During freight preparation for transport the weighmaster fills in the bill of freight manually, especially the obligatory points: bill number, date, sender, recipient, place of issuing, place of reception, freight, registration plate number, driver’s name, driver’s id number, telephone number, amount, weight.
- After reaching the recipient’s premises the freight is weighed again, the procedure of filling the bill repeats.
- Filling the documents in manually may result in errors and later discrepancies in weighs and contractor details.
- The weighmaster writes the weigh of received freight into the bill. The copy of the document together with acknowledgement is then forwarded to the recipient.
- In case of weight discrepancy a separate paper document is drawn in case filling a complaint is necessary.
- The carrier transports and hands in to the sender the acknowledged original bill of freight. The paper document might be destroyed or lost during transport.
- The carrier must stop multiple times to unload freight on different recipients’ premises. In each location the procedure of weighing and acknowledgement with the bill of freight repeats.
- The sender often receives the acknowledgement of freight reception with a considerable delay.
- Average time of document circulation between the sender and the recipient from issuing the freight to receiving the acknowledgement: about a week.
- Companies store paper bills of freight together with their copies and they usually take up a lot of space.
- Each company runs separate registers of bill of freight.
- Employees responsible for document archiving in companies lack tools to catalogue and search the bills of freight efficiently.
