Industry challenges
Inefficiency
Outdated systems, disjointed communication and slow document processes mean companies can struggle to stay on top of their post-trade execution processes. This can lead to trade execution teams not being able to act in time upon vital new information, delayed documents and missed opportunities to streamline processes.
Risk
The use of manual processes and archaic systems to carry out string management, issue contractual notices, and communicate with relevant parties heightens risk; it increases the number of data errors, risk of penalties, delayed shipments and overall costs per voyage.
Paper-based and slow processes
Lack of industry standardization with documentary instructions coupled with manual paper-based processes causes delays for documents presentation. Not only can this lead to lost documents and letters of indemnity (LOIs), but it also increases the chance of forged documents. All of this raises risk and costs.
