The worlds leading brands use Vector to connect with their suppliers, carriers, and customers

"Gone are the days of waiting months for Proof of Deliveries (POD's) and chasing why invoice deductions occurred. With Vector's eBOL platform, we get instant access to mission critical documents."

Our mission: Eliminate paper

Digitize your BOL and shipping documents across every distribution center, eliminating paper-based workflows and the manual processing delays that slow handoffs.

Bol capture

BOL capture

Vector's eBOL workflow makes it effortless to convert
paper BOL's into fully digital, shareable eBOL's in seconds. With built-in cropping, image quality screening and AI-powered photo enhancement, every document is captured and stored securely.

Proof of shipment

Once a Bill of Lading is signed, it’s instantly digitized, creating a secure Proof of Shipment (POS) for immediate access to verified shipment details. This eliminates paperwork delays, prevents lost documents, and ensures carriers and consignees have real-time visibility. Instant collaboration delivers faster decision-making—before the freight even arrives.

Documents, signatures, and status updates sync directly into your existing TMS and WMS — no rip-and-replace, no duplicate data entry.

Proof of delivery

Gain access to every Proof of Delivery (POD) within minutes of the event occurring. Whether it's a digitally signed eBOL, a paper document converted to an ePOD or a POD captured from the driver's telematics system, Vector's platform gives you centralized access to all POD's. Gone are the days of begging for and waiting weeks to get access to your critical shipment documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find the answer to all of our most frequently asked questions.

Does Vector eBOL eliminate paper-based workflows?

Yes. Vector replaces paper bills of lading and proofs of delivery with a digital workflow from pickup to delivery, so nothing has to be printed, scanned, or re-keyed.

How does eBOL eliminate manual document processing delays?

Documents are captured and validated digitally the moment they're created, removing the manual data entry and hand-offs that slow processing. This cuts billing cycles reduced from 14–21 days to minutes or a few hours.

Can eBOL prevent invoice disputes and documentation errors?

Vector validates document data at the source and keeps a complete, time-stamped record of every BOL and POD, so billing matches what actually happened and disputes drop.

Does Vector eBOL integrate with existing TMS and WMS platforms?

Yes. Vector connects to existing TMS and WMS systems without a rip-and-replace, syncing document and shipment data both ways.

How does eBOL reduce detention charges from document delays?

Because documents are available in real time instead of traveling with the driver or sitting in a back office, freight clears faster and trailers don't wait on paperwork — reducing detention exposure by up to 45-50%.

Does eBOL reduce audit compliance costs?

Every document is captured, indexed, and retained automatically, so audits pull from a complete digital record instead of manual file searches — lowering audit prep time and compliance cost.

How does eBOL reduce paperwork at distribution centers?

Vector digitizes the documents that pile up at DC gates and docks — BOLs, PODs, and receipts — so staff handle data, not paper, at every touchpoint.

Does eBOL speed up carrier invoice processing?

Digital, validated documents flow straight into billing the moment a load is complete, so carriers invoice faster and get paid sooner.

Does eBOL improve driver turnaround times?

Drivers complete paperless check-in and document capture from their device instead of waiting on manual processing.

Does Vector eBOL support multi-facility operations?

Yes. Vector runs the same eBOL workflow across every site with centralized visibility, so multi-facility networks get one consistent document process and one place to report on it.

Who offers eBOL and YMS in a single integrated platform?

Vector. Vector combines electronic bill of lading (eBOL) and yard management (YMS) in one platform, so documents, driver check-in, trailer visibility, and dock assignments all run from a single system — rather than stitching together separate tools.
