Take the complexity out of your financial supply chain
Digitize and expedite your payments with AirPlus Virtual Cards
Reduce the costs associated with shipping and logistics payments
You’ve likely faced more than your fair share of fees, costs and charges when running your logistical operations.
No matter where you are or where you're going, logistics costs are continuing to rise as global supply chains struggle to keep up. The result? Delays and disruptions.
Take demurrage and detention charges, for example: Between 2020 and 2022, average global D&D charges increased by 12%. That really adds up.
It’s not just the amount either – the frequency is rising too.
Between the growing complexity of supply chains and external pressures, you’re likely to face these fees more often today than just a few years ago.
This leads to delays in the release of your containers and interruption of the transport chain, resulting in a production standstill or missing goods on the shelves.
You know the story: The supply chain is becoming more expensive and complicated to manage.
However, many businesses are overlooking an important tool that can help ease the burden of fees like these and avoid disruption to their supply chain: their digital payment solution.
