Industry challenges
Unmanageable bill of lading volumes
Hundreds of bills of lading to process daily, including manual entry, signature verification, and reconciliation with delivery receipts.
Critical customs compliance
CBSA declarations, certificates of origin, CUSMA/USMCA documents: an administrative error can block goods at the border and cost thousands in penalties.
Undetected delivery discrepancies
Differences between bill of lading, delivery receipt, and invoice discovered too late: quantities, weights, product references, incoterms conditions not met.
Driver and vehicle documentation
Operating authority, insurance, driver's licences, TDG certificates, CVOR/NSC records: impossible to manually track deadlines for dozens of vehicles.
