Pacific International Lines (PIL) is partnering with WaveBL, a provider of digital trade solutions, to provide a wider range of electronic Bill of Lading (eBL) solutions to its customers.
WaveBL’s solution is expected to improve the ease, security, efficiency, and sustainability of PIL’s trade documentation process. Additionally, it is anticipated to provide a fuss-free experience for customers who will not be required to pre-register, making it a seamless transition to using eBL for shipments.
“A unique feature of the eBL allows the shipper to be on the platform without the consignee needing to be,” said PIL in a statement.
Lionel Chatelet, Chief Commercial Officer of PIL, said the partnership aims to “offer an advanced eBL solution to our customers to better streamline transactions, reduce costs, improve productivity and contribute to carbon footprint reduction”.
Chatelet added, “We are leveraging this partnership with WaveBL 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.”
PIL, which recently joined Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) aiming to accelerate its digital ambitions and enhance operational efficiencies, is the fifth carrier business partner of WaveBL.
“PIL’s commitment to sustainability and digital innovation mirrors WaveBL’s mission to revolutionize global trade through secure and efficient digital solutions. Together, we aim to drive connectivity and redefine industry standards,” mentioned Noam Rosenberg, CEO of WaveBL.
