AMI extends click2ship to South Africa

Trade-only airfreight and express wholesaler AMI has extended its click2ship service to its South African operations. The click2ship service enables freight agents to obtain online, all-inclusive quotations for shipments, including collection and delivery, which can subsequently be converted to bookings. Various additional services such as insurance can also be booked online.

The service was first launched in AMI’s UK business in 2010, and parallel services have since been launched throughout its Australian, South Pacific and Americas networks.

In South Africa, AMI click2ship is initially available for export shipments up to 200kg, to any non-restricted worldwide destination. Only dangerous goods are excluded. Having booked their shipments online, freight agents also have online access to track and trace information 24/7.

AMI’s VP Africa, Milton French, commented: “Our aim is to level the playing field for small and medium agents, and enable them to compete with the large multi-nationals. click2ship provides them with another route to success.”
