The Road oft-travelled

At Assutech, we excel in tackling intricate challenges that businesses face in their daily operations. One particular challenge arises when goods pass through the ports of the Gambia or originate from the Gambia, yet are destined for other countries, especially landlocked nations. In such cases, precise declarations and payments must be made to the appropriate authority, which in this instance is our esteemed client, GCCI. To address these complexities, we actively collaborated with GCCI, delving into their operations to identify opportunities for software solutions. Our objective was to streamline their major processes, building upon our successful engagement with the Certificate of Origin Software. Leveraging our deep software expertise, we aimed to simplify and expedite the trade declaration process, offering GCCI an efficient and user-friendly solution.
