Logistics Workflow Builder: Automating Operations with Linbis
Introduction
That’s where the Linbis logistics workflow builder changes the game. This AI-driven tool lets logistics teams design and automate workflows visually—connecting every system, action, and trigger across the supply chain.
No coding. No delays. Just intelligent automation that runs 24/7.
Step 1: Centralize Logistics Processes
The workflow builder in Linbis consolidates key logistics activities into a single automation hub:
- Shipment creation from CRM, email, or form input.
- Carrier assignment based on rate, capacity, and location.
- Document automation (B/L, invoices, packing lists).
- Customs validation using AI.
- Notifications and tracking updates for customers.
By linking every operational layer, Linbis ensures no task is left behind or duplicated.
Step 2: Design Custom Workflows
Linbis gives users a drag-and-drop automation designer, where they can:
- Create visual flows for recurring logistics tasks.
- Add triggers (e.g., “When shipment booked” or “When invoice paid”).
- Define conditions (e.g., “If destination = USA → add customs form”).
- Connect internal tools (ERP, WMS, TMS, CRM) and external APIs.
This flexibility lets companies design workflows tailored to their business model—freight forwarders, 3PLs, or NVOCCs alike.
Step 3: Automate and Execute
Once built, the workflows execute automatically in real time:
- Shipment created? Auto-generate all documents.
- ETA updated? Notify customers and carriers instantly.
- Invoice approved? Trigger customs filing or payment workflow.
- Exception detected? Route alert to the right department.
Every workflow runs with precision and consistency—no human delay, no missed step.
Step 4: Monitor and Optimize
Linbis provides a workflow analytics dashboard showing:
- Execution success rate and bottlenecks.
- Task duration and response times.
- ROI and time saved by automation.
- Real-time alerts for failed or delayed steps.
Managers can adjust logic, add conditions, or create new automations directly from the dashboard.
Step 5: Continuous Improvement
Linbis AI analyzes workflow performance to suggest:
- Process improvements.
- Automation shortcuts for repetitive tasks.
- Error prevention rules.
- Predictive recommendations for faster cycle times.
This makes the workflow builder self-optimizing, learning how to improve operations over time.
