Customs Brokerage Industry due for Digital Transformation?

Industries are adapting to new demands, and digital transformation is now a necessity, not an option.

For business in the shipping and freight industries, it has been incredibly difficult to navigate the supply and demand side needs of their clients. We are observing industries experiencing mass increases in demand who are struggling with finding matching capacity and product to meet the surge. Air cargo right now is incredibly constrained with much of the capacity being cancelled as companies are limiting long-haul flights, putting remaining capacity at a premium.

Right now, the biggest culture shift and transformation we are collectively witnessing is how well the industry is utilizing technology and digital solutions to smartly adapt to this unprecedented situation.

Those that have left digital transformation on the back burner are scrambling today. On top, customs administrations and other government departments may start to request health or quarantine certificates for the products that has never previously required this type of documentation. In some bulkier cargoes, health, sanitary, fumigation and phytosanitary certificates may be required to necessary shipment documents moving forward adding steps to the process.
