UK – Impatex, the IT provider which has specialised in Customs and freight forwarding software supplies for over thirty years has decided to change its name from Impatex Computer Systems to Impatex Freight Software Ltd. As the company has not supplied computer hardware for over 10 years, the new name better reflects its mainstream activities of developing, supplying and supporting Customs and freight forwarding software.
Details of how the company’s products have developed were included in a piece we published last month but Impatex currently provides two products, ICE (Integrated Customs for Europe) is a heavyweight Customs processing solution aimed at major ‘corporate’ forwarders handling large volumes of Customs clearances. ICE is progressively replacing the market-leading Customs Manager system which handles over 50% of all frontier entries in the UK, and large volumes of inland clearances.
NetFreight meanwhile is Impatex’s browser-based combined forwarding, Customs, warehousing and CRM system, which caters for small- and mid-size users. NetFreight is now in use with almost 100 forwarders in the UK and USA including over half of Britain’s top 20 airfreight agencies.
