Logistics & Supply Chain Automation

Data-driven insights for Global Logistics

Data analytics unlocks new levels of visibility and insights for logistics providers, delivering transformative automation to complex supply chains.

Data-driven decisions that eliminate manual processes and deliver immediate ROI.

With increasing regulatory requirements and cross-border documentation needs, global supply chains face unprecedented complexity. This competitive logistics environment demands that companies automate manual processes, improve accuracy, and deliver greater operational visibility. Overall, data analytics can provide valuable insights and help logistics providers optimise their operations, eliminate costly manual processing, and increase profitability.

The hidden costs of manual logistics

Despite technological advancements, 70% of logistics companies still rely on manual document processing (McKinsey), leading to:

  • £128M+ in annual UK customs penalties from avoidable errors.
  • 15% of logistics budgets wasted on manual data entry and verification.
  • 3–5-day shipment delays due to paperwork bottlenecks.
How critical is logistics documentation automation?

Industry data proves this fact with customs paperwork requirements increasing dramatically and creating 8.7 million additional customs declarations annually.

Delivering value through logistics automation.

Logistics data analytics is critical in today's highly regulated global shipping environment. By leveraging data insights, logistics providers can make informed decisions about their operations, eliminate error-prone manual processes, and drive significant cost savings. It allows companies to prevent customs delays, meet regulatory requirements, and increase operational efficiency.

And now, data automation is revolutionising analytics in the logistics industry by transforming unstructured documents into actionable data, reducing the time and effort required to process international shipments.

Automated document processing

With the help of our CPRA Cloud platform, logistics providers can automatically process unstructured shipping documents like certificates of origin, airway bills, and packing lists. This eliminates manual data entry and transforms hours of processing time into minutes.

Faster customs clearance

Automated data processing tools can quickly analyse complex shipping documentation and calculate accurate customs duties. This allows logistics teams to submit compliant documentation quickly and prevent costly border delays.

Improved accuracy

Automated data processes are less prone to errors than manual data processing, leading to more accurate customs documentation. This enables logistics providers to avoid penalties and fines that could impact bottom-line results.

Enhanced visibility

Data analytics solutions can provide real-time insights into shipment status and duty calculations. This helps logistics providers improve operational efficiency and give management unprecedented visibility into logistics operations.

Cost savings

Automated logistics documentation can reduce operational costs dramatically, as they require fewer resources than manual processing. According to industry research, labour expenses for document review, verification, and data entry can represent up to 15% of total logistics spending for some organisations.

How we're leveraging our knowledge in the logistics and supply chain sector

Documentation Automation

Transform unstructured shipping documents into structured data. Automatically extract key information from certificates of origin, airway bills, and packing lists, eliminating manual data entry and human error.

Customs Compliance Analytics

Ensure accurate documentation processing and duties calculation to prevent customs holds and substantial penalties. In March 2024, the UK government reported collecting over £128 million in customs penalties, many resulting from documentation errors that could have been prevented through automation.

Operational Analytics

Optimise supply chain and logistics operations. Reduce processing time from hours to minutes, improve efficiency, and enhance the overall logistics operation.

Management Visibility

Provide dynamic dashboard views that give logistics, finance, and senior management up-to-date and consistent visibility into all shipment information.

Supply Chain Resilience

Prevent bottlenecks that ripple throughout the supply chain. The fashion industry is particularly vulnerable due to seasonality and trend-driven inventory needs.

Use Case on Logistics Analytics

A leading luxury fashion brand under a major global retail group was struggling with time-consuming manual processing of freight documentation for their 2,000+ annual shipments into the EU and UK. Calimere Point delivered a tailored automation solution using our CPRA Cloud platform that completely transformed their customs documentation process in less than 4 weeks, resulting in significant cost savings and operational efficiency.
