The Columbus Electronic Freight Management system improved data accuracy by eliminating manual data entry from multiple partners and reduced the number of trips to verify data, the efforts to correct data, and the labor related to obtaining information about priority shipments. (June 2008)
The Columbus Electronic Freight Management system improved timeliness of the freight release process and supply chain data, and enhanced cargo visibility.(June 2008)
The Columbus Electronic Freight Management system reduced total transit time of an air-freight supply chain from 96 hours to 82 hours (14 percent) and saved $5.94 per shipment in labor costs across the entire supply chain by reducing paper work.(June 2008)
An evaluation study conducted in Taiwan showed that approximately 70 percent of the paperwork required for international air cargo shipments included redundant data entry that could have been handled by automated Electronic Supply Chain Manifest (ESCM) systems.(22-26 January 2006)
Manufacturers, carriers, and airports that used a Web-based air cargo security and logistics tracking system felt it was easy to use, and were very satisfied with the system's performance with respect to business functions.(December 2002)
Electronic supply chain manifest systems, reduce the amount of time and paperwork required to transfer load and can improve operational efficiencies for shippers/receivers, trucking companies, and air cargo carriers.(December 2002)
Evaluation data collected from the Freight Information Real-time System (FIRST) for Transport project estimated that savings per drayage trip to an ocean terminal would range from $21.36 to $247.57.(June 2005)

Researchers estimated there are about 0.17 billion air cargo shipments each year in the United States that could benefit from Electronic Supply Chain Manifest (ESCM). With potential cost saving benefits ranging from $11.77 to $16.20 per air-freight shipment, ESCM could save the freight industry more than $2 billion per year.(14 December 2005)
