Challenges Faced:

Before implementing FOS Desk, ABC Logistic Company encountered the following challenges related to inaccurate or incomplete documentation:

  1. b) Inefficient Document Handling:

The manual handling of paperwork, including physical copies and emails, posed difficulties in tracking and retrieving necessary documents. The absence of a centralized system made it challenging to maintain consistent data entry and provide access to different departments involved in the logistics process.

  1. c) Compliance and Regulatory Issues: 

Inaccurate or incomplete documentation posed significant compliance and regulatory risks for ABC Logistic Company. Non-compliant or improperly filed documents could result in penalties, delays, and even legal consequences.
