Forestry Industry and Global Supply Chains

In forestry in particular and within global trade in general, a significant amount of work is already digitalised or automated to various degrees. For example, the business processes of tendering raw materials, production and sorting. However, export and logistics fields are still plagued by inefficiencies of manual processes. Our two clients in northern and eastern Europe have told us of the past situations, occurring through their old working methods, where the staff on holiday leave still needed to keep track of shipment status and deadlines. Another situation that was brought to our attention was when sending the original shipment documents were forgotten. This has been discovered by the importer only six weeks afterwards, whilst the cargo was counting up demurrage and detention fees during that time. Using the Centersource platform can eliminate such occurrences.
