From the pages of CargoTalk: Community platforms are the most pertinent technology: Amar More

Emphasising on community systems or common platforms for the industry where no one needs to share paper anywhere Amar More, CEO, Kale Logistics Solutions, said, “The exchange of data through these community platforms replaces paper. Secondly, to avoid congestion, one needs to inform the airport in advance about the time of truck arrival and do the documentation beforehand and not at the airport. This will not only help in avoiding congestion but also help in operating in a safer and efficient manner. Finally, for the industry to come out of this shock, we definitely need technologies that can help them reduce cost or earn more revenues.”
On available technologies, he said, “The most pertinent technology is community platforms where we are replacing human interaction and paper with digital interaction. And, once we adopt them, the benefits are tremendous in terms of cost saving, customer satisfaction and transparency. I believe the time has come to adopt these technologies and to declare this war on paper.”
