Investing heavily in the cloud

CompuClearing has invested heavily in cloud-based technology over the past few years, with the company’s premier software product, CompuSolutions Diamond, having gone live two months ago. “This product, which we believe is the latest word in cloud technology and software development, gives our clients secure access to their data on the system from any device – PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet,” says Miguel Viera, CompuClearing’s customer relations representative in Durban. Other cloud-based technology, such as the company’s cTariff online tariff book and its submission of customs documentation programme has been in use for years, said Viera, He believes that having a presence in Durban is strategic for CompuClearing as Durban has regularly ranked in the top 50 busiest ports worldwide. “We have a strong customer base in the city and we have key account representatives to service that base,” said Viera. He added that the company also provided on-the-ground training in Durban as well as Johannesburg and Cape Town on all its software solutions, including CompuSolutions Diamond and CargoWise One.
