The BBSS permits the New York Stock Exchange to handle daily trade volumes in excess of one billion shares. If this electronic system of routing orders were unavailable, brokers and traders would have to rely on paper forms to document and execute trades. In addition to being a physically demanding process, the paper format is much more difficult to audit and track than its electronic counterpart.
