What would you automate first if you could? Curious what the actual pain points look like day-to-day

Trying to understand where the biggest manual bottlenecks are in freight forwarding, the repetitive stuff that quietly eats into team time.

Genuinely curious:

  • Document processing (commercial invoices, B/Ls, certificates of origin, packing lists): still mostly manual data entry?
  • Client status updates: how are you handling inbound "where's my shipment?" questions right now?
  • Quote generation for multi-leg international shipments: manual calculation or something else?
  • Customs documentation prep: how much of that is repetitive copy-paste across different shipments?
