Automate the shipment operations across multiple carriers

In this day and age of delivering better quality services at

lower costs, reducing any cost element has a very high
significance. This is even more significant if this helps reduce
potential errors and improve customer relationships.
Automation of laborious shipment operations management
tasks can deliver every single benefit that is mentioned
above.

ESSPL demonstrated this by developing a bespoke software
solution to automate the entire shipment booking and
management process across multiple carriers.

booking operations highlighted the following areas involved in
creating and managing a multi-carrier shipment booking :
High costs and poor quality due to:

carrier booking across carriers and locations

Carriers shipment booking applications since different
modes of booking were being used by different users

which should include place all the major shipment booking operations
like:
Booking request,
