Solution providers

Software solutions facilitate the exchange of accurate and up-to-date shipping data and documentation between stakeholders such as carriers, shippers, terminals and banks. The lack of digital standards in the industry makes creating channels for data exchange time consuming and expensive. Bespoke integrations must be established for each relationship, and the data that is exchanged must be aggregated and tailored for each client. These bespoke integrations, which are not based on standards, also prevent data from flowing seamlessly across the trade ecosystem, which is the ultimate aim of digitalising trade. 

With DCSA standards, solution providers are able to create channels for seamless data exchange using interoperable data models and APIs. This enables more effective collaboration while reducing the resources required to develop solutions that maximize value. For eBL solution providers, ongoing collaboration with DCSA will ensure full technical and legal interoperability between eBL platforms. This will further standardised digitalisation of the industry by facilitating the global uptake of eBL standards.
