Shipment Preparation Issues and Challenges

Companies are challenged with streamlining their global shipment and logistics management processes to maximize efficiencies, customer satisfaction and profit margins. Effectively managing all the shipment requirements for multiple modes on a national, regional or global scale is a complex challenge, especially in an international environment. The challenges are compounded by relying on standard forms of communication such as email or fax, which reduces visibility, increases error rates and limits response rates to unexpected shipment disruptions.

By automating pre-shipment processes that include Advance Shipping Notices, UCC 128 labels and critical Customs clearance data, companies can improve the flow of goods, reduce costs and increase on-time deliveries.
