IN A move designed to avoid the scourge of postal delays, Compu-Clearing is now offering its clients an on-line facility for speedy access to amendments to its tariff book.
On Friday morning - or even on Thursday evenings after 18:00 - customers who access the Compu-Clearing menu can print out the amendment pages to the tariff book, complete with the correct page numbers and format, Compu-Clearing m.d. Arnold Garber told FTW.
The amended pages will still be despatched by post.
While Garber considered making the tariff book and amendments available via the Internet, he decided against it.
The whole philosophy of Compu-Clearing is that we provide our services to our customers, who are either freight forwarding agents, clearing agents or airlines.
We do not provide services to the public. According to Garber agents have generated 95% of the ideas for development of the system. The rest have come from Compu-Clearing.
Since none have come from importers, to take all the systems developed for agents and hand them over to importers and exporters would undermine the very industry that feeds us.
