A leading logistics company that offers sea freight forwarding services had manual operation methods that slowed down the declaration process for goods that needed to be loaded aboard the vessel for delivery.

Challenges:

• Manual submission of entry declaration summaries that delayed unloading cargo


• Long approval cycles that delayed international’s commerce due to lack of coordination


• Commodities with lesser shelf life were not delivered on time


• Reputation of shippers and carriers were at stake


• Operational delays due to varied customs rules at different ports


• Regulatory compliance could not be checked on time

The Zerone approach:

We implemented a cloud integrated solution that submitted declarations in the right format at the right time so that operations would continue seamlessly. Our integrated system helped vessel carriers track the status of the submitted declaration in real-time and keep a check on whether it was accepted, rejected or if modifications were requested. Our product engineering team created automated submission procedures in the custom application to allow smooth entry of inbound vessels with standardized security procedures. Read on to know more
