The problem

Why it matters

Checkers compare invoices, bills of lading, insurance and certificates line by line against the credit; most first presentations are refused, and the five-banking-day clock keeps running.

What it does

How the solution handles it

Agents read the credit and every presented document, test each data element against the LC terms, UCP 600 and ISBP 821 and against each other, and draft one complete discrepancy list. The checker reviews each finding beside its page; a supervisor signs the honour or refusal well inside five banking days.

How it works

How a presentation moves

Six specialist agents read the credit and every document, check UCP 600, ISBP and sanctions, and draft one notice; a trade ops checker decides.

The difference, in numbers.

Every figure is labelled: a target the solution is built to, an estimate, a typical published result, or a proven one.
