Bill of Lading – Digital Signature Management – SAP, DocuSign – Digital & IT | Transformation | Consulting | Services

Streamlined authorization and
approvals of Bill of Lading documents

We simplify Bill of Lading workflow by enabling partners sign agreements electronically at any-time from anywhere

The bill of lading workflow manages the dispatch of inventory from the warehouse and requires multiple approvals from across the headquarters, quality inspection team, and an acceptance by the goods carrier. As a result, generating the Bill of Lading (BoL) document also requires multiple steps of data entry, approvals, and verifications by personnel across different locations. The traditional process of paper-based approvals makes the workflow both time-consuming and cumbersome.

The RTS signature accelerator digitizes this entire approval process from within the SAP environment and custom mobile apps.
