Use Cases Order Entry
ORDER ENTRY

Order entry, done right the first time.

Vic reads the rate con and customer email, extracts the fields, checks them against shipper SOPs, and drafts a dispatch-ready order in your TMS, flagging anything missing before the load moves.

Why teams use it

Why ops teams put Vic on order entry

Less typing, fewer errors, faster dispatch, on every order that comes in, at any hour.

Cuts manual entry

Vic extracts and populates every key field, so your team spends less time keying orders and more time moving loads.

Catches errors before the TMS

Built-in validation flags missing or mismatched data, so only clean, complete orders move downstream to dispatch.

Keeps dispatch moving

Orders are review-ready in about a minute, so dispatchers can plan, tender, and book with confidence.

How Vic runs it

From inbound tender to dispatch-ready

The same sequence runs on every order, whether one came in overnight or forty came in at once.

1

Reads the rate con

Opens the inbound tender, rate con PDF, and customer email the moment they land.

2

Extracts every field

Stops, appointments, commodity, weight, equipment, and rate, into structured fields.

3

Checks what's missing

PO, temperature, accessorials, and appointment windows. Vic catches the gaps.

4

Applies the SOPs

Each shipper's standing rules: lane requirements, lumper terms, detention policy.

5

Drafts it in your TMS

A clean, dispatch-ready draft in McLeod, exceptions flagged for a quick confirm.
