Significant Reduction in Operational Delays for a Large Freight Forwarder in Mauritius

Small Country with Huge Growth Prospects for Freight Forwarders

Mauritius is a key country in the world when it comes to export import and trans-shipment trade. Due to its relevance in export import, freight forwarders have a large role to play here. The Freight Forwarding industry here is thriving on the growth of the logistics industry and we can see forwarders being present in the industry for considerably longer time.

But, Freight Forwarders in Mauritius often find manual operations a significant hurdle to scale their operational capabilities. Even though, the emphasis on technology adoption is huge, the rate of adoption is way too less to increase the growth prospects.

 

A Large Scale Freight Forwarder Seeking Well Streamlined Operational Flow

Our client is a large freight forwarder in Mauritius and has been dominating the country’s maritime sector for decades and offers a wide range of services. When the volumes kept surging, scalability and improving capacity was of utmost importance. But, the potential bottleneck that causes significant operational delays is the legacy system that works in tandem with manual operations. In addition to this, unprecedented data redundancies and errors as well consumed hours of operations in paperwork and eventually led to revenue leakage. Surprisingly, lack of proper communication among the organizational hierarchies too ended up causing occupational hazards.

 

Addressing Key Challenges with Digitization

The client requires a future-ready solution to consolidate their operations at the terminal and ensure they looked at addressing

  • Disparate operations with manual operations
  • Inaccurate Data Leading to Revenue Leakage
  • Zero to Very Less Real-time Business visibility being
  • Improving scalability
  • Lack of Compliance Adherence Mechanism
