Automate the Creation and Updating of Import Jobs
Import Bills of Lading
When working with export agents or offices on different internal systems, creating import jobs is an overly manual process - with ops teams needing to combine data from multiple Bills of Lading to create an import job in your TMS / ERP. With Shipamax, your emails are automatically scanned for Pre-Alerts and ungrouped Bills of Lading.
Our product validates and groups documents to automatically create and update existing records in CargoWiseOne. Shipamax removes the need for time-consuming manual work, reduces error rates, and means operators can spend more time with customers and less time manually importing data into CargoWiseOne.

Faster turnaround times for customers with real-time processing
Real-time data entry automation means import jobs are created in CargoWise without delay - putting to rest those queries from large customers with linked portals. Missing documents are identified before creating consoles and shipments and highlighted in our exception manager - giving an at-a-glance view of what's needed to unblock shipments. Operators can collaborate with others to co-ordinate the process - and ensure goods are moved from A to B without delay. A process that once took over 30 minutes, can now be executed in a under 5 minutes.
