HS Cargo, a reputed player in the customs clearance industry for the past 18 years, recently introduced new proprietary software to promote sustainable business practices.
It is designed to minimise the use of paper in cargo management processes. This will not only reduce the company’s carbon footprint, but also streamline its workflow. The system, which comes with streamlined document management, cloud-based accessibility, electronic signature integration and enhanced security measures, was developed by Tech 84, a dynamic software development and IT services company.
The innovative software solution demonstrates HS Cargo’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. By adopting a paperless approach, the company is taking a step towards mitigating the impact of its operations on the environment. The solution is expected to greatly enhance its cargo management system, paving the way for green practices across the board. Since its inception 18 years ago, HS Cargo has evolved into a dynamic force in the customs clearance industry. The company has successfully withstood challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic crisis that affected all businesses. Due to a slump in business from October 2022, the management team headed by Managing Director Howard Sela decided to think outside the box with a focus on modern technology. This led to the development of the new IT system aimed at reducing the costs of paper, printing, filing and storage. The solution would enhance the company’s processes and boost performance, increasing the speed, productivity and efficiency of its daily operations. This will greatly increase its value and reputation in the industry.
The system will boost efficiency by eliminating the need for physical paperwork, so that the HS Cargo teams can focus more on meaningful work rather than manual, time-consuming processes. Further, the reduction in paper usage, printing costs and manual processing will result in significant cost savings for the company.
HS Cargo has never compromised on its service levels. Even when business volumes dropped, the company continued to efficiently run its import operations, while exports were handled on a 24/7 basis. The company also lays much emphasis on the wellbeing of its employees. Unlike other businesses facing tough times, they did not lay off any of the staff in the various departments or deduct salaries, and ensured that the various incentives and perks offered continued.
