How to build an order with multiple carriers
Fulfilling customer orders can require collaboration with multiple carriers simultaneously. Rose Rocket allows you to assign each leg of a shipment to different carriers and record costs separately. Rate Confirmations are created automatically for each carrier that can be tendered digitally from the platform in seconds.
It lets you generate a single BOL & invoice for your customer while managing multiple carriers seamlessly. To split the BOL for each leg portion of the order, follow the instructions here.
How it Works
Follow the walkthrough to see how to split orders into multiple legs, assign each carrier, record costs and tender.
- Create an order with pickup & delivery stops
- In the Tasks tab, split the order into separate pickup and delivery legs
- Assign a carrier to each leg of the order, and record costs for them separately
- Rate Confirmation documents are generated separately for each carrier
How to split BOL details for each carrier:
As part of this feature, you are able to see and send separate Rate Confirmations for each carrier, but the BOL does not auto-split. To split the BOL, follow these instructions:
- Go to the Order
- Click on the 'Documents' tab
- Open the Bill of lading document- it will automatically download to your device
- Open the document in an editor like Preview (Mac) or Adobe Acrobat Reader (Windows)
- Split the document pages to separate the leg portions of the order
- From here, you can upload the new documents back into Rose Rocket to send, or send the split BOL to carriers via email.
