Impatex – the UK’s leading supplier of Customs software – added 25 new companies to its growing customer base in 2007.
Between them, the new Impatex users have added a further 35 branch locations to the hundreds already served by Impatex software. 
Customers signed up in 2007 ranged from single-outlet courier operations to the UK multi-branch operations of major global groups such as DSV, RH Freight and, more recently,  Aramex. 
Says Impatex MD Peter Day: “The main area of growth was in the small to mid-range forwarders. Now that the disappearance of the ISDN link to CCS-UK has restored a level playing field among software suppliers, users are free to pick the system that’s best for them, rather than the only one that offers a particular connection. This has had a discernibly positive impact on our sales.
“We have a fully-featured Customs system that represents a significant saving in costs for the larger companies using 3rd party Duty Managemnent systems, as well as the smaller companies just processing frontier clearances.” 
He concludes: “With the recent addition of the NetFreight web-based forwarding system to our product range, and the excellent publicity we received for our smooth handling of the switch to SAD-H, we expect another good year in 2008.” 
Customs Manager is in use by hundreds of UK multi-modal freight forwarding companies of all sizes - including 14 of the IATA top 20 agents - together with many importers and exporters. Impatex’s Customs Manager software is used to clear 50% of all UK airfreight imports and exports.
