This system also guarantees the safety of customs officers by eliminating the presence of escorts on the roads, thus reducing the risk to their lives and health. Freight forwarders will benefit from a significant saving in time and money thanks to the end of the customs escort, mission orders and en route checks. They can start their journey from the break of the suitcase, thus considerably simplifying their operational process.
Finally, the system offers total transparency to freight forwarders. They can now consult the position of their vehicles and goods in real time and free of charge on our geolocation platform. The customs procedure is considerably accelerated with our system thus eliminating any manual seizure. The prepayment of the fee via the platform also facilitates transactions without the need for travel or the use of cash, "said Mamoudou Diané.
