A new Trade Facilitation Platform (TFP) for global traders was launched by the ABCC at a meeting held in our Mayfair premises on Tuesday 23 April.
Making use of the TFP brings significant benefits in real-time Warehousing Services in the Middle East and the UK, allowing traders to seamlessly find and hire storage facilities, along with other value-added services like Marine Cargo, Pre- and Post-Inspection of Goods Quality, and Custom Clearance. The launch meeting was opened and hosted by Mr Bandar Reda, ABCC Secretary General & CEO and chaired by Mr Abdeslam El Idrissi, ABCC Deputy CEO & Secretary General, with a panel of experts who developed the new service outlining its tangible benefits to businesses engaged in international trade.
The new facility is the outcome of a close collaboration between the ABCC, Hashmove and the London Strategy Centre, both of which are ABCC member companies. In his presentation, Mr Mashary Osman, Head of International Trade Services, ABCC, described the launch of the facility as marking “a significant milestone for us as we unveil this groundbreaking platform in collaboration with our esteemed partners, Hashmove and London Strategy Centre.” The Trade Facilitation Platform offers comprehensive solutions to global traders, he said, stressing that “the true measure of success lies not only in the technology we create but in the impact it has.”
The facility has been launched against the backdrop of unprecedented technological advancements and global economic challenges, he said.
“At its core, our platform is about connectivity—connecting businesses with opportunities, connecting service providers with customers, and ultimately, connecting people with prosperity. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and industry expertise, we have created a platform that streamlines trade processes, enhances efficiency, and unlocks new avenues for growth.
“This Platform has the potential to transform industries, create jobs, and drive economic prosperity. But its ultimate success will be determined by the value it delivers to our customers and the positive change it brings about,” Mr Osman told the meeting. Details of the platform were further elaborated by Mr Sarfaraz Alam, Group CEO & Co-Founder, Hashmove, who stated,
“The forthcoming Trade Facilitation Platform encompasses essential modules designed to optimize various aspects of international trade. Digital and Real-time Trade Documentation, for instance, simplifies paperwork by enabling electronic submission and processing of trade documents, enhancing efficiency while minimizing errors.
“Cargo Search and Booking Facilities streamline the process of locating available shipping options across sea, air, and ground transportation, facilitating timely bookings and real-time tracking.
“Additionally, TFPs provide real-time Warehousing Services in the Middle East and the United Kingdom, allowing traders to seamlessly find and hire storage facilities, along with other value-added services like Marine Cargo, Pre and Post-Inspection of Goods Quality, and Custom Clearance. Collectively, these modules empower traders to navigate the entire trade process with confidence and ease. By consolidating these functionalities into a unified platform, TFPs promote transparency, reduce costs, and facilitate smoother trade transactions, ultimately fostering economic growth and nurturing trust among trading partners,” Mr Alam concluded.
