The year’s news flow was once again dominated by the overarching theme of 'trade digitization', but with a distinct shift towards combining a wider mix of technologies to achieve the singular goal of end-to-end paperless trade; an absolute necessity when dealing with complex value and supply chains, and a sharp move from earlier one-size-fits-all approaches. Interestingly, over the last quarter of 2016, the year’s stories were bookended with distinctively forward-looking news articles, almost as if trying to anticipate the yet-unrealized full potential of combining innovations such as electronic Bills of Lading, BPO, DocPrep, Blockchain, IoT, AI and more – making the journey into 2017 more exciting than ever!

On behalf of the entire team here at essDOCS, we’d like to wish you all a great New Year, as we once again renew our commitment to enabling your ongoing journey to paperless trade!
