customers and suppliers. The new possibilities for processes (e.g. order,
entry, distribution, on-line payment) as well as dealing with the technical
issues have revolutionised the logistics industry. E-logistics has eliminated
intermediaries (such as wholesaler or retailers) and also fosters the
emergence of new players like logisticians, whose role is to adapt
traditional logistics chains to take into account the requirements of ebusiness. In the next few years, successful enterprises will restructure
their organization, process and technology infrastructure for successful ebusiness execution.
Increasing globalisation brings
both challenges and opportunities to
the port industry. Port Authority and
Container Terminals at Karachi have
improved Shipping Logistics by
integrating electronic transaction and
processing. This has increased
communications efficiencies across
multiple organizations and facilitated
faster import and export processes.
Projects have been implemented to improve overall efficiency of Pakistani
Customs Agencies through the Customs Administration Reform (CARE)
and PACCS (Pakistan Customs Computerized System), which is a one
window system and that window may open - any time at any place over the
web - depending on your own choice. As we continue on
the journey to internationalization we have to meet the
challenges of our global world and our client's logistics
requirements. In view of the above situation, the
government, in a true democratic spirit, took all
stakeholders on board and has
devised a strategy to go all out to
remain firm in these difficult
economic times, keep focused on
our strengths, and convert
challenges into workable
opportunities. Trade Policy 2009-12
aims to set the country on the path
of sustainable high economic growth through exports.
