To accept the shipment, the carrier clicks on a link in the ARC email. That link enables the carrier to sign the rate confirmation electronically. As soon as the rate confirmation is signed, a new link appears in the ARC email.
This link provides the carrier with detailed shipment information, shipper name, pick-up and delivery addresses, reference numbers, and contacts, for example. At the same time, the dispatching broker receives an email verifying that the carrier has signed the rate confirmation along with a PDF of the signed document. The carrier’s signature is a legally binding e-signature through Aljex partner Sertifi.
The ARC email continues to serve both carrier and broker. The carrier uses the links in the ARC email to update information on the shipment so the broker receives an email whenever the carrier provides an update or a change—including proof-of-delivery. The process unfolds automatically and seamlessly on Aljex working screens, saving time and improving communications for both broker and carrier.
