KARACHI: Port users, including importers, would soon be able to track their consignments and also enjoy a range of other services via mobile phone application.
Talking to Customs Today, Directorate General of Reforms and Automation Director Abdul Majid Yousfani disclosed that the software would help the importers to remain informed about the status of their consignments at whatever stage they are – be it at examination, clearance or release. The App would be the first such software application for cell phone users across South Asia.
The app would be developed completely by Pakistan Revenue Automation (Pvt.) Limited (PRAL) as per the design specifications provided by the directorate, he added.
Asked about the time frame of the App launch, Yousfani said that the development work on the app would begin in the next phase once WeBOC is rolled out at all commercial airports of the country this month. The installation of WeBOC would enhance the automated goods declaration reach to 90 percent by December, he said.
