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.
