Railinc’s TransmetriQ unit added eBills of Lading (eBOL) to its rail management system (RMS).
“Shippers can now eliminate time-consuming and error-prone manual translation of their shipment tendering information into rail-specific terminology,” says Danny Dever, product manager, TransmetriQ. “The system is designed to both speed Bill of Lading creation and, most importantly, eliminate reworks after eBOLs are submitted.”
- TransmetriQ’s eBOL automatically converts key shipping data into language and formats necessary to initiate rail shipments, including shipping and receiving location information; automatic party lookup; automatic commodity lookup, including hazmat and non-hazmat designations; and optimal shipment routing.
- TransmetriQ implemented eBOL with seven Class I railroads to date and will add this capability for any current RMS user—shipping via any North American railroad—on request.
