BCHAA (Bombay Custom House Agents Association)

Softlink in association with BCHAA (Bombay Custom House Agents Association) conducted a training session on the advanced features of Visual IMPEX on the 1st of August 2009. The aim was to empower the users to overcome challenges faced in business; using the advanced features of Visual IMPEX. The one day training program was attended by more than 150 members of BCHAA who have been using Visual IMPEX but were yet to uncover its true potential.

The inauguration program was presided over by Mr. Omprakash Agrawal, President, BCHAA, Mr. Nimish Desai, Hon. Secretary, BCHAA and Mr. Rajesh Gosalia, Chairman EDI Committee, BCHAA. Mr. Rajiv Desai, Vice President, BCHAA and Mr. Pankaj Shah, Hon Secretary FFFAI, also graced the occasion.

Addressing the members, Amit Maheshwari, Founder & CEO, Softlink Global Pvt. Ltd., said, “The need for the session was felt as the majority of users of Visual IMPEX are not utilizing the product to its full potential. In a meeting with Mr. Agrawal, on broaching this subject, both Mr. Agrawal and I arrived at the conclusion that there was an urgent need to make the user of Visual IMPEX aware of its extensive capabilities. We ran up the idea of conducting a series of training sessions in association with the BCHAA for the benefit of its members.”

He added,“I would like to thank Mr. Agrawal and other members of BCHAA, for their support towards making this initiative a success. We will continue to be in the forefront of simplifying operations of the logistics and international trade and uphold the tradition of reliability, trustworthiness and excellence.”

Mr. Omprakash Agrawal, President, BCHAA (Bombay Custom House Agents Association) speaking on this occasion said, “It is my goal to make this industry the first or second choice of the younger generation. We are conducting courses for imparting knowledge of the industry and give the participants a cutting edge over others.” He further said that that the examination being conducted by the customs should be taken over by the federation and be accredited by Customs”. While commending Softlink’s efforts Mr. Omprakash requested that such events be held more frequently so that more and more users can benefit. Mr. Omprakash said that he has a firm belief that a positive outlook and positive thoughts will help the industry and people in general to grow and achieve greater heights.

Mr Rajesh Gosalia, Chairman EDI Committee, talked on the need for quality and accuracy of the data being submitted to customs. He cautioned the industry about pitfalls in the erroneous data submitted to Customs, which leads to litigation and unnecessary legal tangles. Mr. Rajesh praised certain advanced features of Visual IMPEX such as tracking; which with its inbuilt functionalities will benefit the users. Mr. Gosalia lauded the efforts taken by Softlink.

Mr. Agrawal assured the participants of more such events in collaboration with Softlink in the future for enhancing the knowledge and improving the efficiency of the CHA fraternity.

“The logistics sector lacks an effective policy framework for IT adoption. A huge financial burden on the logistics industry (which is close to 13 per cent of GDP) can be reduced by framing policies that promote IT automation to increase process efficiencies. Necessary incentives will give traction to the industry’s growth helping them to match international standards and improve profitability”.
- Amit Maheshwari, Founder & CEO, Softlink

The Government should support domestic software product companies in the same manner that it empowered their IT services counterparts. The Government should provide certain tax incentives to domestic software product companies for making them more competitive globally.

The direct and indirect tax benefits provided to software service companies should also be extended to product firms.

Indian software product companies cater largely to the domestic market and are also drivers of IP creation in the country; there needs to be some incentive for creating intellectual property.
