Easy to access the new system supports multiple stakeholders in pandemic times
Dubai Trade, DP World’s single window platform for cross border trade, has introduced the ‘Electronic Delivery Order’ a new technological tool that will allow supply chain stakeholders to handle their complex import processes with just the click of a computer mouse.
The ‘E-Delivery Order’ is tailored to support trade, logistics and supply chain players in trying times like the operational disruptions caused by the pandemic.
Launched in the midst of the pandemic that requires social distancing and work-from-home, the new system enables shipping agents, freight forwarders and Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCOs) to move beyond their tedious over-the-counter operations that require physical visits.
The multi-faceted ‘E-Delivery Order’ eliminates paperwork and liberates the UAE’s trading community from the inefficiencies of manual intervention and related costs.
It minimizes cargo clearance turnaround time, increases competitiveness and creates greater visibility of the cargo flow. The process is further eased with Dubai Customs accepting digital Bills of Lading and Delivery Orders from agents.
“Dubai Trade’s E-Delivery Order marks a major step forward in digitizing the management of logistics to increase the resilience of the trade and logistics sector,” affirmed Mohammed Al Muallem, CEO and Managing Director, DP World, UAE Region.
“This automation will make the existing manual process redundant and reduce the operational costs while helping the company in the adoption of sustainable delivery processes,” observed Hussain Alblooshi, COO, Dubai Trade.
The company has already processed more than 17,000 transactions for 1400+ customers and aims to keep growing and adding to this number exponentially.
