Govt seeks to modernise wholesale industry with digital roadmap

Singapore

DIGITALISATION has helped local food distributor SATS BRF to create a document retrieval system which enables halal, health and import permits to be stored in the cloud and automatically indexed.

It is a far cry from when it used to deploy two staff members working four hours a day to generate 28,000 documents a year. Digital copies of its permits can now be retrieved and attached to customer invoices, saving SATS BRF up to 95 per cent of its time previously spent on document handling.
