Operations Module

Managing the logistics of international trade — from packing to delivery.

Step 1: Creating Packing Lists

Packing lists detail exactly what is being shipped. Link a packing list to a sales invoice, then specify the individual packages including their weights and dimensions. This information is essential for customs declarations and freight calculations.

Step 2: Bills of Lading

Generate Bill of Lading (BL) documents directly within NouraCRM. Link each BL to a shipment, record container numbers, and track the document through its lifecycle. The BL serves as a receipt of goods and a contract of carriage between the shipper and carrier.

Step 3: Shipment Tracking

Create shipments and assign carriers to manage your logistics end to end. Each shipment progresses through clear statuses:

• Pending: The shipment is being prepared and has not yet departed
• In-Transit: The goods are on their way to the destination
• Delivered: The shipment has arrived and been received by the customer

Step 4: Connecting the Workflow

The operations module ties together the full logistics chain. Packing lists define what is being shipped, Bills of Lading provide the shipping documentation, and shipments track the physical movement of goods. This connected workflow ensures nothing falls through the cracks — from the moment goods are packed to their final delivery.
