Fast and efficient completion of shipments key to CoreFreight application

“Although the requirement for effective IT systems is not restricted to agents servicing the automotive industry, our work within this environment emphasises those areas where particular benefit may accrue to forwarding and clearing operators,” says Jonathan Sims of Core Freight Systems. ‘The CoreXchange functionality seamlessly facilitates the movement of electronic data into the primary CoreFreight application, where it is moved by operators through a logical, easy-to-use process for the production of the bill of entry. VOCs and exbonds, as required, are integral to the process flow making for further fast and efficient completion of a shipment. Comprehensive invoicing and file balancing modules ensure that the profitability of each shipment is available for management review when required,” says Sims. Advanced reporting functionality allows agents’ staff to communicate with the importer or exporter at each stage of the transaction, whether it is simply providing an automated status update or supplying a sophisticated costing output, he explains. “Growing awareness of the need to optimise each element in the supply chain provides the opportunity for South African agents to leverage their investment in IT systems. “We strive to take advantage of modern technology and the flexible design inherent in the Core Freight applications to address our clients’ internal needs and, in partnership with them, address the requirements of the importer and exporter,” he added.
