Minimising risk through pricing structure

Last year wasn’t just a difficult year of recovery for shippers, carriers and freight forwarders. The companies behind the software to ensure the supply chain runs seamlessly also found it challenging. According to Homith Hooseria of software provider Compu-Clearing, the market in 2011 was still unstable. “Many companies experienced negative growth and felt the pressure of the volatile markets,” he said. However, Compu-Clearing is more optimistic about the year ahead and has been able to minimise financial risk for itself and its customers through its pricing structure. “By being transactionalbased, our clients were able to benefit from the drop in their prices, as business slowed. “We are confident that 2012 is going to be a positive year for Compu-Clearing,” said Hooseria. “Clients have realised the benefits of a ‘true outsourcing’ model, and more and more are moving towards this. It allows us to remain at the forefront of the industry.”
