DocuTrade Secures Traditional Approval from International Group of P&I Clubs
Imagine there are special rules for sending important papers about shipping goods across countries.
A big group called IGPI checks if computer programs that handle these papers follow all the rules.
Yodaplus's program, called DocuTrade, just passed this special check!
It's one of only a few programs in the world to get this high approval.
This means DocuTrade can help make sending shipping papers digital, safe, and legally correct, like using a digital signature that everyone trusts.
This helps make international trade easier and faster, without so many paper documents.
DocuTrade, a digital trade documentation platform by Yodaplus, has received Traditional Approval from the International Group of P&I Clubs (IGPI).
This approval places DocuTrade among the top 15 globally recognized electronic Bill of Lading (eBL) platforms.
The rigorous evaluation by IGPI confirmed DocuTrade's compliance with all ten requirements, including legal enforceability, security, governance, and interoperability.
DocuTrade is the sole eBL solution provider in India to achieve traditional approval for all ten IGPI requirements.
This milestone signifies DocuTrade's commitment to enabling trusted, interoperable, and paperless trade aligned with international standards.
