How B/L splitting works in bulk shipping

B/L splitting takes source shipment and cargo information and produces multiple bill-of-lading outputs that still need review before use.

Evidence object

B/L split output pack

B/L splitting takes source shipment and cargo information and produces multiple bill-of-lading outputs that still need review before use.

4 source inputs

Source packet

Inputs captured before any output is trusted

1

Original B/L or shipping instruction packet

2

Cargo quantity, grade, parcel, receiver, and consignee details

3

Voyage, vessel, load port, discharge port, and date references

4

Split instructions, document templates, and review notes

Failure modes avoided

What review catches

A copied field changes across one split output and is not caught before release.

The team can see the generated documents but not the instruction or source row behind each one.

The workflow compresses drafting time but loses the checker queue and exception list.

Desk checkpoint

Where the desk call stays visible

A person still reviews document accuracy, external wording, missing values, and exception handling before release.

Chartera prepares

Matched TC or voyage context, missing evidence, source trail, and the desk item to check.

The desk decides

Confirm, correct, ask the agent for clarification, escalate, approve, or hold it back.

The file carries forward

The reviewed call stays attached to the task, record, laytime file, or claims pack.

Workflow trace

  1. 01

    Gather the source packet and split instructions in one reviewable workspace.

  2. 02

    Extract shipment fields and mark any missing or inconsistent values.

  3. 03

    Generate split output drafts while preserving the source basis for each document.

  4. 04

    Route the output pack through checker review before external use.

What stays under control

Reduces repetitive document preparation by assembling split outputs from the source packet.

Keeps source shipment data and split instructions close to the generated drafts.

Preserves a maker/checker review pattern before documents are used outside the team.

The manual workflow

Teams gather source shipment data, cargo details, consignee or receiver information, and document instructions, then prepare and check multiple outputs.

Where time is lost

The repetitive work is context reconstruction, copying details across documents, and checking that each split output remains consistent with the source material.

What a good automated flow preserves

The right system reduces repetitive document handling while keeping source context and checker review in the loop before documents are released.

Questions teams ask

Does Chartera remove document review?

No. The B/L proof page emphasizes a reviewed flow with one person creating outputs and one person checking.

What result has Chartera shown publicly?

The public proof page describes a 32-hour workflow compressed to 3 hours with 100+ BoLs generated.

Why does source context matter?

B/L outputs leave the desk. Teams need a clear path back to the data and instructions behind each output.
