PIL upgrades its electronic Bill of Lading solution
Pacific International Lines (PIL) is partnering with WaveBL, a leading provider of digital trade solutions, to provide a wider range of electronic Bill of Lading (eBL) solutions to its customers.
With a user-friendly interface, the proven eBL solution will significantly improve the ease, security, efficiency and sustainability of PIL's trade documentation process. It will provide a fuss-free experience for customers who will not be required to pre-register, making it a seamless transition to using eBL for shipments. A unique feature of the eBL allows the shipper to be on the platform without the consignee needing to be.
PIL has been embarking on a wide range of digitalisation initiatives focusing on the ease to do business, and joining the WaveBL Network reinforces its commitment to driving connectivity and efficiency across its global operations and enhancing customer satisfaction, it emphasised in a release.
PIL's integration into the WaveBL Network is a positive contribution towards advancing digitalisation within the global shipping industry. It underscores the industry's evolution towards more efficient, secure and sustainable trade practices.
An eBL makes document creation, approval, distribution and tracking easier, helping to cut costs while reducing potential fraud and eliminating the risk of paper documents being lost in transit. Committed to sustainability and digital transformation, PIL recently joined DCSA (Digital Container Shipping Association) to accelerate its digital ambitions and enhance operational efficiencies, the release added.
