Results

Dataforest has developed a comprehensive web application that caters to three distinct roles within the cargo industry: Shippers, Carriers, and Brokers. Brokers generate a Bill of Lading upon the Shipper's request. Shippers entrust their goods to the logistics process, while Carrier companies are directly responsible for moving these shipments.

‍

In this web application, any organisation can establish an account and meticulously monitor the progress of its cargo. Dataforest implemented a notification system, ensuring immediate notice when your cargo embarks on its journey. Should you encounter any discrepancies or inaccuracies within the documents, we offer a streamlined online solution to rectify such issues promptly.
