Customs-clearance software allows firm use Brexit to advantage
Summary
“Over the past year, at Cantec Group, we have been working to develop a software system that will allow businesses to save up to 20 minutes per individual declaration.” A substantial increase in customs-clearance declarations is now required to export and import goods to and from the UK. “John has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the logistics business, and has carved a niche for his company in handling customs-clearances declarations on behalf of his customer base of exporters,” says Mr Tuohy. Businesses are continuing to adjust to Brexit, he says, with the true extent of the challenges having become more visible over the past number of months: “Already, demand is high for ClearanceTec, which directly addresses the issue of increased declarations,” he adds. “With the focus on sustainability, most businesses now aspire to have a paperless office and we’re effectively helping them reduce their printing output.” Over the past five years, the group diversified into software — and the pandemic has accelerated the process of working ‘smartly’. But, in addition to that, there were another 500 single-function printers dotted around the place.” Mr Tuohy and his team spent a year working with the university to decommission their current fleet of print devices, install new machines that had greater green credentials, and streamline UCC’s targets on waste.
