Software solutions facilitate border clearance

Perhaps our software may not be the only answer to the current congestion experienced at South Africa’s busiest ports and border posts, but we’re offering 21st century solutions to a persistent problem,” says Michael Henning, marketing manager for Easyclear, a Johannesburg-based software solutions provider to the freight forwarding and clearing industry. Featuring an application that is packed with software for imports, exports, forwarding, warehousing and finance, the service provider believes its powerful over-border module that is extensively used by agents operating at South Africa’s borders with the SADC and other neighbouring countries, is making a difference. “With an increase in road freight exports and an ever-increasing need for solutions that provide fast and efficient clearing as well as tracking for our clients, Easyclear has developed a module that is specific to this type of business model. It can accommodate clients in remote areas where there is very little infrastructure and communication while at the same time maintaining its vital communications with South African Revenue Service for EDI,” explains Henning. “Over-border clearances are handled within minutes by the system and the application can even produce the import SAD500 entry, integrating and communicating with ASYCUDA, our neighbouring countries’ answer to the Sars CAPE system,” adds general manager CJ Pagel.
