PACIFIC International Lines have announced a partnership with WaveBL to provide an upgraded electronic bill of lading (eBL) solution for its customers.
PIL say the eBL solution will significantly improve the ease, security, efficiency, and sustainability of PIL’s trade documentation process, helping to cut costs while reducing potential fraud and eliminating the risk of paper documents being lost in transit.
The Singaporean shipping line is emphasising user-friendly features, intending for a “seamless” transition to using eBL, and highlighting that the new solution allows the shipper to be on the platform without the consignee needing to be.
WaveBL is an Israel-based digital and trade solutions provider, and PIL believe integration into the WaveBL network is a “positive contribution” towards advancing digitisation within global shipping.
Lionel Chatelet, Chief Commercial Officer of PIL said, “PIL’s digital initiatives are a means to support our customers and their needs as well improve efficiencies. We remain strongly committed to enhancing human interactions and relationships”.
“We are leveraging this partnership with Wave BL to upgrade our internal processes to make sure that the efforts made by our customers to switch to eBL will be translated into an immediate improvement to the way we are managing their documents and their shipments.
“We hope that we, along with shipping lines, customers, eBL solution providers, and financial institutions, will be able to collectively convert more customers to eBL solutions.”
Noam Rosenberg, CEO of WaveBL added, “We are thrilled to welcome PIL to WaveBL’s rapidly growing network as our fifth carrier business partner”.
“PIL’s commitment to sustainability and digital innovation mirrors WaveBL’s mission to revolutionise global trade through secure and efficient digital solutions.”
