'Modernisation has transformed business' - ShipShape

“SA Revenue Service’s modernisation changes at land border posts have completely transformed the way road freight clients do business,” says ShipShape Software MD Chrissie du Barry. “Full automation means that clients are able to turn their trucks around more quickly from depot to border, without having to wait for hardcopy documentation for presentation at the border. This in turn has had a positive impact on transit times and SLAs. “ But with change comes challenge and once again the support and development teams at ShipShape proved their mettle, said Du Barry. “On-going and advanced notifications by the modernisation team at Sars ensured that ShipShape was ready for all the updates. Not only were clients kept well informed as to the landscape of the changes, they saw very little or no break in service.” CAPTION Chrissie du Barry … positive impact on transit times.
