Siyakhanda International Trade Concepts (Pty) Ltd - (SITC) is the leading developer and provider of software solutions for South African companies involved in International Trade.

Our customers are exporters and importers who daily face the challenges of global trade. There are a myriad of concerns exporters and importers confront in doing business in a global marketplace, in complex supply chains extending thousands of kilometres beyond our country’s borders.

The consensus seems to be that it is not easy to be compliant in importing and exporting activities in this post-9/11 world, yet there are serious ramifications at every stage of the supply chain for failure to adhere to complicated regulations that seem to change daily.

There is little doubt that technology has an important role to play in simplifying complexity by automating many of these tasks. Case studies praise the supply chain efficiencies and economies achieved through technology implementation.

Automating trade processes can significantly reduce the amount of time spent preparing shipments. Errors will be reduced and risk management improved, by using world-class tools such as an export VAT compliance module and L/C compliance module. It will free talented staff from mundane, labour-intensive tasks and allow them to channel their energies into more creative pursuits that enable a company to maintain its competitive edge. Furthermore, it will allow businesses to move products through Customs quicker (EDI) with fewer inspections, fines and headaches.

Integration with your ERP/Financial package will offer you the best of all worlds and help to increase corporate profit margins.
