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.
