Challenge
For more than a decade, Sourcefit has served as the outsourcing partner of a technology-driven logistics company focused on simplifying and enabling global trade. The logistics company's freight workflow, from client eManifest submission to shipment arrival, faced several challenges:
- Slow, error-prone, and costly document processing
- Difficult to scale effectively
- Resource-intensive, requiring skilled staff
- Dependent on outdated Excel-based tracking systems
- Manual processing taking 30 minutes per document
Solution
Sourcefit deployed a customized WorkingAI solution to automate critical steps while keeping human oversight in place:
1. Auto-retrieval of eManifest forms from multiple sources
2. OCR + AI auto-populate fields, flagging missing or unreadable data
3. Human validation of flagged cases
4. Real-time tracking dashboard replaces Excel logs
5. Instant client confirmations once documents are approved

The logistics company achieved dramatic improvements:
- 93% faster processing (30 minutes → 2 minutes per document)

- Improved accuracy & compliance through smart automation
- Freed-up staff time for mission-critical, client-facing activities
