From Hours to Minutes: How Mass Upload Transforms Your Document Management
23/10/2025
Key Takeaways:
- MSC’s Mass Upload, launched on myMSC, replaces manual shipping instruction entry with an easy copy-and-paste process, cutting work from hours to minutes.
- The feature combines efficiency, accuracy, and scalability, with built-in validations and flexible options for handling any shipment size.
- Part of MSC’s drive to digitalize and simplify eShipping, Mass Upload helps you save time, reduce errors, and work more confidently online.
If you have ever entered shipping instructions manually container by container, you know how time consuming and error-prone it can be. Repetitive data entry, inconsistent formatting, and missing fields can easily slow operations down, and even lead to costly mistakes.
To make this process faster and more reliable, MSC introduced the Mass Upload Tool on myMSC in October 2023. Built for when you need to handle multiple containers and cargo types, this feature is meant to replace the old Excel-based workflow with a simple copy-and-paste process.
The result? A cleaner, more scalable way to submit eShipping Instructions (eSI) — saving time, improving accuracy.

The Key Benefits of Mass Upload
MSC’s Mass Upload was designed with one goal in mind: to make document management faster, smarter, and easier for users managing high shipping volumes. Here are the benefits you can enjoy when using it:
Efficiency
Upload hundreds of container and cargo details in one go. Many users report saving hours each week compared to manual entry. With structured copy-paste functionality, you can handle large submissions in just a few clicks.
Accuracy
The built-in validation which highlights mistakes instantly — from missing data to incorrect formats — before the submission goes through. This reduces back-and-forth corrections and helps ensure clean, complete information every time.
Scalability
Whether you’re managing five containers or five hundred, you can process them seamlessly. For smaller loads, manual uploads remain available, offering flexibility without sacrificing control.
Consistency
Uniform formatting across every entry ensures smoother downstream processing and fewer rejections. That means more reliable data, better traceability, and quicker turnaround times.
With recent updates you can now include HS codes, cargo descriptions, gross weight, package types, and more — offering you even greater control over the data!
