If the paper is stamped, the Waybill alone will have to be transferred back and forth at least four times in Beijing, Shanghai and Yunnan. Regardless of efficiency, there may be risks of loss and tampering in the transfer.

In freight transportation, it is common to encounter the phenomenon of "the actual consignee in logistics is filled in as the boss or purchaser, but in the end, it is signed for by on-site warehouse personnel". It is difficult for the driver to confirm whether the signature was signed by the driver. In case of any problems, it is impossible to prove that the signature is from the driver, and the documents have no judicial effect. Not only will the payment not be recovered, but compensation will also be faced.

Large logistics platforms provide transportation services nationwide and have a large customer base. Every year, a large number of paper documents need to be signed and stamped, and the signing cost of some medium and large logistics platforms may reach millions of yuan per year. In addition, the manual sorting and archiving of large quantities of paper documents is labor-intensive, and offline storage takes up a lot of space, resulting in high cost investment.
