Enigio today announced the launch of its new self-serve online channel, giving small and mid-sized businesses instant access to create, manage, and send legally valid digital original documents without platform lock-in, onboarding hurdles, or complicated integrations.
For SMEs, freight forwarders, and trade finance providers, this means they can finally digitise the documents that matter most – from bills of lading and certificates of origin to guarantees and promissory notes – with the same legal standing as paper, but none of the friction.
Unlike existing web platforms, which require every counterparty to sign up before documents can be exchanged, Enigio’s online channel works openly. Users can create a digital original and send it instantly – and the recipient does not need to register or join any system to receive it.
The launch answers a clear market demand. In a recent Enigio survey of over 200 trade professionals, 81% said they still rely on ordinary PDFs and 54% still courier paper originals, leading to delays, lost shipments, and high costs. More than half reported courier expenses as their biggest pain point, while nearly two-thirds said faster, digital processes would be their top motivation to switch.
Patrik Zekkar
CEO of Enigio
“Businesses told us they were tired of lost time, courier bills, transport incidents and the stress of chasing paper. They wanted a way to act quickly and simply, without committing to system integration and similar tech barriers. With this launch, anyone can now safely digitise their critical trade documents in minutes and trade freely with any counterparty, without forcing them to jump through too many hoops.”
Customer interviews conducted ahead of launch reinforced the urgency, with one logistics manager in the US referring to instant transfer of trade documentation as “a game-changer". Another trade technology manager in Berlin stated that document delays are “the biggest pain point” in her workflow: “Bills of lading are so stressful, and a solution like this would be a huge relief.”
In addition to the instant transfer of documents to their trade partners, the new service also allows companies to:
- Manage and store documents online with full traceability and audit trails
- Support multiple document types – trade, finance, and logistics alike
- Enable multi-user access within an organisation, so teams can collaborate securely
- Offer the service under their own brand with built-in white-label capability
- Choose flexible pricing with per-document use or subscription tiers
This self-serve channel builds on Enigio’s mission to make digital trade accessible for all. By lowering barriers to entry, it brings the benefits of legally valid digital documents – speed, security, and cost savings – to SMEs, mid-sized corporates, and logistics providers worldwide.
