Paper bills of lading (B/Ls) have been used for centuries, playing a key role in linking shipping and trade. However, the document lifecycle has its pain points, such as long transfer time, uncertainties, high carbon emissions, and difficulty in distinguishing authentic from fake documents. Whilst other industries have been quick to adopt and see the benefits of electronic documentation, the logistics sector has yet to catch up.
IQAX has cooperated with numerous internationally renowned carriers, banks, cargo owners, freight forwarders and various entities in different scenarios during the pandemic and has been highly recognized by the industry for its innovative solutions.
Electronic B/Ls have a myriad of advantages in terms of information accuracy, data security, efficient circulation, being energy saving and low carbon and realizing other benefits that simply cannot be provided by the traditional paper bill of lading.
Our products use blockchain technology to ensure the B/Ls are traceable and tamper-proof, effectively protecting B/L data security and ensuring authenticity and uniqueness of the B/Ls.
