About This Automation

Consignment booking and intake involves receiving customer requests, extracting details, validating compliance data, and assigning cold storage locations. Manual coordination across email, spreadsheets, and multiple team members creates delays, data entry errors, and incomplete records.

Automation captures incoming bookings, validates all required compliance information, matches products to available cold storage slots, and generates confirmation records instantly. The result is faster turnaround, zero compliance gaps, and accurate invoicing from day one.

Key features
Capture booking requests from email and web forms automatically
Validate compliance data and flag incomplete submissions for review
Match product temperature requirements to available storage slots in real time
Assign storage locations and update warehouse capacity instantly
Generate booking confirmations and invoice line items without manual re-entry

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Booking Request Submittedtrigger

Customer submits consignment details via web form or email. The automation platform captures the submission and extracts key fields.

2. Validate & Enrich Booking Data

The automation checks that all required fields are present, validates product category and hazmat classification against compliance rules, and flags any missing information for human review.

3. Check Storage Availability

The automation queries the live warehouse capacity sheet to find available cold storage slots matching the product's temperature requirement and assigns the best available location.

4. Create Warehouse Record

The automation creates a new consignment record in the warehouse management sheet with booking ID, customer details, product info, assigned location, and timestamp.

5. Send Booking Confirmation

The automation sends a confirmation email to the customer with booking ID, assigned storage location, expected arrival date, and special handling instructions.

6. Create Invoice

The automation creates an invoice line item for storage fees based on product type, quantity, and assigned duration.

7. Notify Warehouse Team

The automation sends a message to the warehouse team with the new consignment details, assigned location, and expected arrival date.
