Digital International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (Fiata) documents are now a reality with the Digitalisation Platform – powered by CargoDocs – launched in the Fiata constituency on Thursday.



A statement by Fiata notes that after testing the product it is now ready to be opened up to interested parties wanting to implement the system in their day-to-day business. “This is as close as you can get to plug-and-play in dealing with transport documents,” said Marco Sorgetti, director-general of Fiata.



“The software is an entirely web-based system ready to power Fiata’s Bill of Lading (FBL) through electronic distribution. It is easily accessible, requiring users to simply register as users and then access the services through a bank-grade security token,” said Sorgetti.



Some of the benefits of adopting CargoDocs include reduced time for drafting and approving documents, no courier fees or delays, significant time and cost saving, minimised risk of fraudulent B/Ls and many more.
