What our Clients say
Prior to implementing BSM export documentation and operations system was predominately paper based. This resulted in double handling of information, excess archiving requirements and restricted visibility of day-to-day operations.
Since implementing BSM we’ve experienced greater transparency of day-to-day operations, a 92% reduction in paper usage and significant improvements though streamlining all our export processes. BSM’s interface being accessible by phone, tablet and computer has provided greater flexibility and enables me to access information easily and remotely.
We look forward to continued development with BSM as the improvements we’ve experienced so far have been substantial.
Once we undertook the initial onsite review, we immediately saw the potential benefits BSM could deliver to our business. We have made redundant many different systems in use at the time for which repetitive data entry was required, streamlining our entire process. The ability to easily exchange data with our finance system was an added benefit and the ability to tailor the needs to our unique business was most impressive.
One of the many strengths of the BSM team is their personable and collaborative approach. BSM worked closely and effectively with our operations team which made the experience easy and seamless for everyone involved.
Overall, we believe the Business Review was worth the price tag. We would recommend BSM to any business looking to significantly improve their international supply chain offering and to enhance the overall effectiveness of their company
