Audit trail: An audit trail of all shipments gets created as the confirmation of each vendor is captured on the platform itself. This leads to an increased level of transparency.Unlimited vendors: As the system automates the RFQ management process, you can potentially invite quotes from unlimited vendors as against the traditional system where the number of vendors is restricted due to several limitations.GoComet Shipment Tracking:GoComet’s shipment tracking module provides a single dashboard to give you real-time, automated updates on the movement of all your international shipments.
