What documentation issues does VICO help businesses solve?

Each shipment may have different documentation requirements depending on the commodity, import/export countries, shipping mode, and regulatory requirements. Businesses therefore not only need complete paperwork but also must ensure information across all documents is consistent.
VICO's Commitment
VICO supports businesses in reviewing and handling documentation per shipment, helping identify existing documents, required additional information, and key compliance considerations before execution.
Business Challenge

Unsure which documents are required for your shipment?

Businesses new to import/export or launching a new trade route may struggle to identify the complete set of required documents.

VICO's Solution

VICO reviews your shipment details to define the scope of documents to inspect and identify any additional paperwork needed for your specific case.

Business Challenge

No dedicated documentation department

For companies without an in-house documentation team, verifying Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, Certificates of Origin, and related files can be time-consuming.

VICO's Solution

VICO assists in handling all shipment-related paperwork, seamlessly connecting documentation with subsequent logistics stages.

Business Challenge

Inconsistent documentation across parties

Information across Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, Certificates of Origin, or transport documents must be audited to prevent discrepancies in product descriptions, quantities, weights, and key details.

VICO's Solution

VICO performs a thorough document cross-check before shipment execution.

Business Challenge

Shipments requiring C/O or specialized permits

Certain shipments require Certificates of Origin (C/O), quarantine certifications, fumigation certificates, import/export licenses, or other specialized documents based on the commodity and market.

VICO's Solution

VICO checks regulatory requirements and coordinates the preparation of appropriate documents when applicable.

Business Challenge

Frequent document revisions or additions needed

Information errors or missing documents can lead to time-consuming re-processing and unnecessary additional costs.

VICO's Solution

Thorough pre-shipment document auditing allows businesses to spot missing details or necessary amendments at the earliest stage.

Business Challenge

Shipment ready to dispatch but documentation incomplete

When cargo is ready but documentation remains incomplete, businesses need to quickly pinpoint missing files to stay on schedule.

VICO helps businesses rapidly inspect and identify exact missing documents for immediate coordinated action.
