SUMMARY:BACC Ohio 2023 AGM
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Aviator for our Link Club immediately followed by our Annual General Meeting. \n  \nJoin us as John Senese and James Wilson present “Automated Supply Chain Document Processing and Visibility: A Modern Solution for Reducing International Trade Paperwork” \n  \nFintech has evolved to address several challenges while creating a beneficial relationship with the  customer or supplier. The trading practice of handling paper documents from multiple sources has now  been digitized and unlocked to provide additional benefits such as Trade Discounts\, Terms Extension\, Document Visibility\, KYC\, ESG\, Logistics Support\, and Trade Compliance. It is now possible to have nearly immediate access to digital summaries of all relevant information contained within international documents from the moment a shipment leaves the seller’s port or airport until it arrives to its intended destination. This presentation will review the benefits of this new cloud-based technology and how companies can take advantage of its capabilities\, often without the need to implement an internal IT project. \n  \nLunch will be provided at the event and menu choices will be taken on the day. The choices for lunch are outlined below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you!
