Consignment booking intake requires staff to manually extract shipment details from emails and forms, then transcribe them into multiple systems. This repetitive data entry consumes significant time and introduces errors that delay dispatch notifications and customer confirmations.
Automation extracts booking details from incoming requests, validates addresses and service eligibility, and populates dispatch and billing systems in minutes. Customers receive immediate confirmations and dispatch teams get real-time notifications without manual intervention.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A new booking email arrives in the inbox or a web form is submitted. The automation is triggered immediately.
The automation parses the email or form to extract shipper, receiver, weight, service type, and special instructions. Unstructured text is converted into structured fields.
The automation checks address completeness, verifies weight and service type against business rules, and flags any missing or invalid fields for human review.
If all required fields are present and valid, proceed to consignment creation. If not, route to manual review.
A new consignment record is created with all validated details. The system auto-generates a consignment number.
Consignment details are sent to create a draft invoice or revenue record linked to the customer.
A formatted message is sent to the dispatch channel with consignment number, pickup address, and delivery address.
A confirmation email is sent to the customer with the consignment number, expected pickup time, and tracking link.
