‘Need to develop digital portals to facilitate seamless data flow’

Sunil Kohli, Managing Director, Rahat Cargo said, “The technical integration in the Indian cargo industry has been call of the time adopting several state-of-the-art technologies to cope with the changing era. There are various requirements in this regard and to name a few are – real time tracking of the goods across the supply chain and to develop digital portals to facilitate seamless data flow among the stakeholders apart from government’s initiative to develop the digitised customs processes. However, such integration is fraught with many challenges such as involvement of high expenditure, lack of trained and skilled workforce apart from inadequate infrastructure coupled with unorganised sectors and regulatory hurdles. Hence until these challenges are successfully met with, the desired goal may not be achieved.”
