Limiting Paragraph Length to Achieve Conciseness – pg. 80

As you know, we use electronics to process freight and documentation. We are in the process of

having terminals placed in the export departments of some of our major customers around the

country so they may keep track of all their shipments within our system. I would like to propose a

similar tracking system for your company. We could handle all of your export traffic from your

locations around the country and monitor these exports with a terminal located in your home office.

This could have many advantages for you.

 You could generate an export invoice in your export department.

 You could trace your shipments more readily.
 Finally, your accounting department would benefit.

All in all your export operations would achieve greater efficiency.
