WAVE BL was founded to address the inefficiencies and risks associated with physical paper documents in the international trade industry. The company operates a proprietary, decentralized network that enables the instant, secure, and authenticated transfer of original trade documents, most notably the Bill of Lading. By leveraging Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), WAVE BL's platform ensures the uniqueness and integrity of electronic documents, helping to prevent fraud, reduce operational costs, and accelerate trade finance processes for carriers, importers, exporters, and financial institutions. In 2021, the company was acquired by ZIM Integrated Shipping Services to further accelerate the digitization of trade documentation.
