“I’m absolutely delighted with the launch of our new website,” announces Christopher Hewlett, co-founder and director of BoxTop Technologies.  “It was time for a change. Our existing website, although popular, had remained fairly constant for a few years and we all thought that it was time to showcase some of our achievements. I hope you enjoy it but if you have any suggestions for further improvement please let us know.”

Using BoxTop has enabled Mapcargo International Limited, a leading independent freight forwarder, to enter into the new sector of high-value fashion goods and offer a competitive service.  Without the installation of the BoxTop system, when a trailer arrived with more than 700 garments it would take one person all day for the information to be keyed in and processed. “Now it is done at the press of a button,” says Glyn Smith, Operations Director.

BoxTop Technologies, the UK’s fastest growing freight software supplier and a leader in supporting the wider freight forwarding community, sponsors the first ever Technology Award at the BIFA Freight Service Awards ceremony held in January 2005 at the Brewery, a stunning, award-winning location in the city of London.  In a very closely contested final, we were delighted to present the BIFA Award for Technology for 2004 to Seko Worldwide, a leading provider of customer focused supply chain management solutions.

With the continued growth of BoxTop we’re naturally under pressure to offer more and more features with every release. In this version we’ve enhanced the warehouse module and provided an implant system for our customers to offer to their customers.  This new feature will allow our customers’ customers to create their daily courier bookings locally but, by clicking a single button,  this will automatically create all the bookings in BoxTop with only the need for only minimal further data input.

“This is a tremendous achievement and significant milestone. By signing our 100^th customer – which has been reached more quickly than I imagined – I believe it says a lot about the loyalty of our customers and the dedication of the entire team at BoxTop,” says a delighted Christopher Hewlett, co-founder and director of BoxTop Technologies.  “I’m also very excited about the opening of our new technical support centre in Slough (close to London’s Heathrow airport), which will be managed by a new member of the BoxTop team, Andy Newlands.” See more
