New freight management system launched

The next generation of freight management systems has just been launched by the software development house, CompuFreight. This system comprehensively covers the clearing and forwarding, general warehousing, and perishables warehousing industries, according to company proprietors, Pedro da Costa and Chaim Meister. “It provides a fully integrated suite built for any size of clearing agent or warehouse to scale their operations, simplifying back-office activities and adding locality to bring about better control over logistics with minimal additional resources,” they told FTW. With expertise in the customs broking and logistics industry spanning over two decades, they believe the company is well placed to deliver tailored supply chain logistics management solutions for every requirement. Da Costa and Meister describe their vision for the freight and logistics industry as a seamless, open and integrated technology environment. “CompuFreight has implemented successful solutions for many leading companies in the industry,” they told FTW. “We are not just another supply chain solutions software provider,” they added. “We offer a comprehensive package, from indent through to general ledger.” “It is a modular system that has streamlined the operations, accounts, and management of freight forwarders, customs brokers, NVOCCs and warehouses companies.” The ‘Business Intelligence Analytics’ is a new offering in system software. This, according to the two executives, is a reporting tool enabling all data of captured files to be controllable by management – with reports available in column, line, pie, bar, area and scatter chart formats. The system also features a ‘Workflow Bulletin Board Display’ which monitors and controls the planning and execution of events that exist across the entire supply chain. It defines workflow and critical dates – with automatic scheduling of tasks, milestones, exception and event management across the indenting, forwarding, brokering, warehousing and accounting functions.
