Introduction

Transport companies often face significant challenges when it comes to manually creating CMR documents and transport letters. This process can be extremely time-consuming, considering that each document requires attention to details such as cargo information, transport route details, and client data. Any error can lead to delays, customer complaints, or even legal penalties. Additionally, maintaining consistency and compliance across all documents can be difficult when they are generated manually.

Why LexiFlow?

LexiFlow is the ideal solution for transport companies looking to automate and optimize the document creation process. By using LexiFlow, companies can benefit from complete automation, document consistency, and significant time savings. The platform allows for the quick and error-free generation of documents, ensuring that all relevant information is included and correct.

Step 1 — Create a Template

The first step in using LexiFlow is creating a template for transport documents. This template will include all necessary fields for CMR documents and transport letters, with variables that will be automatically filled in. Examples of variables include: {{nume_client}}, {{adresa_destinatar}}, {{data_transport}}, {{detalii_marfa}}, {{ruta}}, {{numar_vehicul}}. The structure of a template might look like this:

Transport No.: {{numar_transport}}
Date: {{data_transport}}
Client: {{nume_client}}
Recipient Address: {{adresa_destinatar}}
Cargo Details: {{detalii_marfa}}
Route: {{ruta}}
Vehicle: {{numar_vehicul}}

Step 2 — Set Up Data Sources

The next step is setting up the data sources that will provide the necessary information for the templates. LexiFlow allows connection to various data sources, such as CSV files, APIs, or databases. For example, you can upload a CSV file containing all the necessary details for each transport or set up an API connection to extract real-time data from the transport management system.

Step 3 — Map Variables

Now, you need to map the variables from the template to the fields in the data source. For example, {{nume_client}} could be mapped to the "client_name" field in the database, and {{detalii_marfa}} to "cargo_details". This process ensures that each generated document will contain the correct information, automatically extracted from the data source.

Step 4 — Build a Flow

With the template and data sources ready, the next step is building an automation flow. This will link all elements together, allowing for batch generation of transport documents. In LexiFlow, you can set conditions and rules to determine when and how documents are generated, ensuring the process is as efficient as possible.

Step 5 — Generate Documents

The final step is the actual generation of documents. In LexiFlow, you can choose to download the generated documents or automatically send them to clients and partners via email. This functionality not only saves time but also reduces the risk of human errors in the distribution process.
