The freight management sector is innudated with tonnes of documentation for consignments they handle. Rail, sea and air freight handlers have to manage documents for each consignment they handle, ranging from shipping notes to dangerous goods notes, waybills and bills of lading to name a few.

Every document is important and should be available when required by receipting agents, customs or other parties. Having correct documentation on hand allows efficient loading, unloading, clearance through customs, shipping and tracking – minimising delays, storage charges, fines and lost shipments.

Shipping containers more often than not handle multiple consignments each of which must be handled and documented separately. Non-availability of documents could lead to potential delays in clearance, demurrage and other penalties.

With a Document Management system in place, freight management organisations can capture all shipping and delivery documentation as it is created and be made instantly available when required facilitating problem free transit. It provides instant and simultaneous access to documents for people across the organisation, accelerating reconciliation and improving cash flow.

It gives the organisation an advantage when it comes to managing their core activities. It helps locate documents in a jiffy and is accessible and affordable. It helps improve the department efficiency by reducing the time spent managing paperwork and approvals.
