The Importance of Documenting Loading and Unloading
The loading and unloading process is one of the most vulnerable points in the shipping cycle. Whether it’s ensuring the safe handling of goods or verifying proper procedures, having a clear record can save companies time, money, and protect them from disputes. Accurate documentation helps to:
- Prevent cargo damage by ensuring the proper handling of goods.
- Reduce theft and fraud by documenting all actions during the loading/unloading process.
- Resolve disputes with clear, video-based evidence that can verify what took place.
- Ensure compliance with industry regulations, such as safety protocols and operational standards.
QUICKTEL’s body cameras offer an ideal solution for ensuring that all of these points are met with accuracy and transparency.
