The warehousing, distribution, and transport services of logistics companies are usually outsourced to third party logistics (3PL) companies. It is mandatory that the third-party service provider must comply with the operational standards of the company and regulatory requirements laid by the industry. Handling 3PL approvals manually is both labor-intensive and also prone to errors and inconsistencies. Not just that, outdated manual processes lead to potential legal and compliance risks as well. The best and most efficient way of handling these approvals is to adopt workflow automation. Automated workflows streamline the review and approval process by incorporating rule-based processing of contracts based on predefined criteria. This way all contracts are reviewed accurately and approved only when the contract meets company’s standards. The risk of erroneous approvals or missing clauses in contracts is eliminated in automated workflows. A workflow solution like Cflow can make life easy for logistics managers by providing them complete visibility and control over the entire review and approval process. Deeper visibility and transparency ensures that all 3PL contracts are managed according to operational standards of the company.
