eFreight Workflow Solution

Today, the air cargo business is still drowning with much paper-works. Every air cargo shipment travels with up to 38 documents, and costs LSPs an average of US$30 per shipment for paper processing and production. So much paper is required in processing air shipments every year that when put together they could fill up 39 Boeing freighters.

Critical documents such as air waybills, customs permits and delivery orders contribute to this significant volume, which form the lifeblood of information and document workflow within your key departments.

LSPs today realise an obvious area where document workflow problems can be addressed is in reducing the cost of manual paperwork. LSPs can easily cut operations cost by automating document processing and streamlining document workflows, thereby raising service levels through a higher throughput of automated freight document handling.

Solution

The eFreight Workflow Solution is an electronic freight document workflow solution to streamline and enhance LSP import operations.

eFreight Workflow provides the capabilities to digitise freight documents at the individual shipment level, to manage each step of the document workflow electronically and to generate permits and delivery orders.

Import documents such as Waybills, Bills of Lading and Invoices are digitised in the eFreight Workflow. The electronic workflow allows users to complete their task more efficiently without having to print or make multiple copies of the documents unnecessarily.

eFreight Workflow gives management a dashboard of the import documentation process.

Every task in eFreight Workflow is tracked by roles and due dates, allowing reminders to be automatically served to specific persons at specific times. Audit reports are also available to management to view every task, process, action and outcome within the workflow.

Archived electronic documents can be referenced for future customer or operation related issues.
