Challenge
Amidst a period of rapid expansion, operation optimization has become a priority.
One of its main obstacles was having all the data from its logistics operations dispersed across different platforms. This led to spending a lot of time on administrative tasks and information management heightening the risk of errors.
As carriers, they found themselves having to check the customs clearances, insurance policies, payment methods, shipping company, and shipment details on different platforms. This fragmentation not only heightened the likelihood of human errors but also significantly expanded the amount of time dedicated to managerial tasks.
The second main challenge they faced when managing shipments from different platforms was payment processing. Most freight forwarding platforms and marketplaces extend payment timelines to 60 to 90 days, which introduces additional complexities to carriers' financial management and their cash flow.
