Why Integrate with YRC?

Make YRC a partner in your supply-chain integration.

The benefits of data integration with YRC can be strategic and operational. Data integration can strategically benefit your organization by strengthening relationships with customers and vendors, resulting in a greater advantage against the competition.

Data integration benefits operational processes by reducing the time and personnel required to complete order entry and reducing the strain on other resources. With integration, each partner can agree on specific working requirements and terms in advance. Documents such as purchase orders and invoices no longer need to be individually created, mailed, entered and then processed. Instead, these documents are processed electronically and accurately, reducing processing time and the number of staff needed to complete each data entry.

Data integration affects your:

  • Supply-chain visibility
  • Vendor-compliance metrics
  • Internal process automation
  • Ability to deliver world-class service
  • Inventory reduction and control
  • Planning for operations and distribution
  • Data mining and analysis
  • Reporting

Data integration ensures your information moves ahead of your shipments! As with the flow of water, everything begins "upstream." Accurate information provided upstream improves every stage of the supply chain. This begins with the bill of lading.

Bill of Lading Data Integration

Sending us your bill of lading (BOL) electronically schedules the pickup and gives us advance visibility to your shipment, which helps us better plan and time loads. This can potentially reduce transit times for your goods. Electronic BOL information also flows into our billing system, which reduces the risk of keystroke errors and enables us to process your shipment faster.

Other advantages of implementing an electronic BOL:

  • Your system can assign a tracking number in advance for each bill of lading.
  • Data keystroke errors are eliminated, which reduces bill rework and the time required to link your shipment to our internal order number.
  • Tracking number (pro number) assignment is useful for your customer service and accounting.
  • Tracking number assignment is critical for shipper and consignee online tracking.
  • Reference numbers are accurate.
  • Freight invoicing errors are reduced, which makes audit processes more efficient.
  • Data integrity enhances your accounts receivables because consignees can close out PO numbers sooner.
  • We can process trailers containing your shipments faster because we need not wait for a paper BOL.
  • Advanced shipping information offers the potential for building direct loads.
