IT system helps capture product codes and values

The new vehicles sales market enjoyed month-onmonth growth for much of last year and this bodes well for 2012, according to Homith Hooseria, marketing and sales representative for Compu-Clearing. And, he says, it will no doubt have a knock-on effect across the board. IT provider to the customs clearing, freight forwarding, air cargo and related industries, Compu-Clearing serves a number of companies in the automotive sector, either directly or indirectly. “We believe the monthon- month growth in new vehicle sales will continue to have a major impact on the growth of other related sectors,” said Hooseria. “It is therefore important to ensure we can meet the needs of this growing market.” According to Hooseria, the vast array of products and spares in the automotive sector means huge volumes of product codes and values need to be captured and handled by an IT system. “The Compu-Clearing system has evolved to cater for this, and we can handle large file names and product codes. This ensures smooth transition, integration and if need be, easy data capture. The system also allows the user to link product codes with tariff headings and these are updated in the system without any client intervention.” Having recently grown its cCloud platform to include cTariff, its new online Tariff Book, and cRoad, the new web-based ACM Road Manifest System, the company also offer free custom integration with its systems, as well as free training of all its cCloud Systems “This is very powerful in the automotive industry as the amount of information needed would take days to capture. In most cases of integration in the automotive industry the amount of data capture is minimal.” The company also offers a complete ERP supply chain logistics solution. “This encompasses all aspects of the logistics supply chain from local transport and warehousing through to forwarding. This system now allows us to fulfil all the needs of our customers,” he said.
