Case Study: HLS achieves greater cargo release control and faster document processing with WaveBL

How HLS Reduced Operational Risk By Shifting To Digital

HLS, a market-leading freight forwarder based in Hong Kong, sought to reduce operational risk by moving away from paper-based workflows. Their challenge was to gain greater visibility and security for document transmissions, achieve better control over cargo releases, and cut the significant costs and manual effort associated with handling original Bills of Lading. They engaged the vendor WaveBL to find a digital solution.

WaveBL implemented its blockchain-backed digital platform for HLS. This provided a highly advanced security measure for seamless document transmission, which simplified the entire process of sending Bills of Lading to supply chain members. The solution gave HLS greater control over cargo release and saved them time by eliminating the manual processing of original documents.
