Challenge
All-ways wanted to reduce the time it took to exchange and transfer the Original Bill of Lading. The paper-based model had caused document delays that resulted in high compliance costs. From courier costs to the many fees along the way before surrendering the Original Bill of Lading, the process became too time-consuming in an environment that requires a fast-paced turnaround. The bottom line for All-ways was to adopt a modern solution to curb expenses and cut time.
