Freight Fusion adds SAD document to product suite

Software provides the tools to process imports and exports RECENTLY LAUNCHED freight software developer Freight Fusion Systems has added a new module – the Single Administration Document - to its comprehensive product suite. The company, set up by Brian Mulligan and his son Rian, both of whom have been intimately involved in the development of software for Röhlig-Grindrod over the past seven years, has been established as an independent entity with no shareholding by the Röhlig-Grindrod group. “We see our software as an enabler, providing the tools to process imports and exports more quickly and efficiently while helping to maintain a high level of accuracy and transparency to management and clients,” says Mulligan. “Our system includes Key Performance Indicators as well as ISO processes. Most importantly, the systems are designed to enable clients to take full advantage of EDI,” says Mulligan. All agents, regardless of size, can benefit, he says. “Even the smallest agents can compete with the giants as we provide the full spectrum of services.” Mulligan is confident that there is room for a new player who is able to widen the options in the freight market. “Our AS400 system has grown over the years and we believe we can bring new and exciting applications to the market.” The latest trend is to provide seamless integration of systems which can reduce manual labour and make data processing more accurate. Freight Fusion’s systems are developed with this in mind and optimise bandwidth utilisation, which is still a very expensive cost factor in South Africa. The windows-based system is modular in design and incorporates a range of options. Its export system for the road freight industry, for example, enables truckers to frame and submit their entries to SARS from their desk top. “Freight Fusion is committed to stretching its boundaries to the benefit of its clients,” said Mulligan.
