Paperless trade

A major challenge with the manual documentation process includes the cost. Yes, a cost is incurred for every document, and as the document is manual, the risk of liability in terms of mistakes also exists. Even the case of data manipulation exists with manual documentation.

Reduced carbon emissions

Sustainability is always associated with climate change. In the last two/three decades, the focus on limiting human innovations' environmental impact has increased significantly. Industrial operations are held responsible widely for the same, and Logistics is supported. According to an environmental study on emissions, the Logistics sector accounts for 14 per cent of the overall carbon emissions. Limiting these emissions is of utmost importance as it affects not only human life but also marine and other life forms.

Data security

Cyber-attacks happen because of the multiple data transfers through different computer technologies and insufficient cyber threat/event information-sharing amongst Logistics stakeholders. These risks can be significantly mitigated with platforms like UPLIFT, built on technologies like blockchain, user-based access, and secured clouds with third-party audits. UPLIFT leverages the power of next-gen technologies such as Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and Blockchain. It offers a transparent and efficient system to tackle cyber-attacks. Over the years, UPLIFT has been upgraded, and these technologies were leveraged 100 per cent to achieve the exact data security synergies.
