The Client’s Problem
ABC Exports, a medium-sized exporter of goods, was drowning in a sea of paperwork. Managing shipping manifests, customs declarations, certificates of origin, and commercial invoices was a manual, error-prone process handled across multiple spreadsheets and filing cabinets. A single mistake or a missing document could lead to costly customs delays, port fees, and lost client trust. Their operational efficiency was crippled, and scaling their business seemed impossible.
Our Solution / Strategy
We developed a centralized export compliance and documentation platform. Our strategy was threefold:
- Automated Document Generation: We streamlined compliance by integrating with global trade databases to auto-populate and generate all required shipping and customs documentation for any product and destination.
- Automated Business Logic: We developed multiple algorithms that automated core business calculations based on specific requirements. This automation eliminated error-prone manual entry and enabled the supply chain to track destinations and handovers quickly and accurately, significantly reducing manual errors and processing time.
- Centralized Collaboration & Insight: Provided a single hub that unites logistics, sales, and finance, offering instant visibility into the entire supply chain. The system features status tracking, automated alerting for approvals and milestones, and delivers clear administrative oversight of project progress at a glance.
Tangible Results
- Cut documentation time by 75% per shipment.
- Eliminated customs clearance delays resulting from paperwork errors for a full 6-month period.
- Boosted shipment volume by 30-40% without increasing team size, directly supporting business scaling.
