Autonomous cargo clearing, initially received with a fair amount of reservation, has resulted in 4 600 successfully processed entries since it was first recommended as an idea to the South African Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff) in 2018, Easy Clear has said.
Speaking at the launch of the company’s new premises in Edenvale recently, director CJ Pagel recalled how the concept, included in a brochure on the 4th industrial revolution for a Saaff congress, filled him with doubt about the idea.
“Most people must have thought I was crazy at the time. And I don’t blame them.
“It is still a feature regarded as a twilight dream.”
