Namibian major signs up for CargoWise solution

Manica Group Namibia has just signed an agreement to implement CargoWise’s ediEnterprise technology solution for logistics services providers. Since entering into a partnership in March 2010, CargoWise and Compu-Clearing have accomplished a series of successful agreements with customers in South Africa to implement ediEnterprise, said Compu-Clearing chairman Arnold Garber. “This signing extends the success of CargoWise’s partnership with Compu- Clearing into the broader southern Africa market,” he said. With a considerable market share, MGN is one of the largest logistics services providers in Namibia. Patrick Kohlstaedt, MGN general manager – logistics services said: “The ediEnterprise product offers a fully integrated solution which gives us capabilities equivalent to the largest global forwarders on a flexible commercial model that allows for expansion. Once you have this system, you really don’t need anything else.” “The modular and scalable nature of the ediEnterprise solution allows for easier implementation and cost management,” said Garber, “but the benefits go even further for users pursuing an aggressive growth strategy. The combination of our local market expertise with the global reach of CargoWise makes it all the more possible for customers with ambitions in the wider southern African region and beyond to take full advantage of the capabilities the system offers.” Volodya Bilanovsky, CargoWise’s vice president of partner programmes, commented: “The depth of our product capabilities bundled with our global hosting infrastructure enables our partners to expand their businesses and offer a truly global solution to their markets.”
