In certain segments we cater to, like simplifying the operations of custom broking, we have achieved market share of close to 80 per cent in markets like western India. Earlier, southern India was being looked after by our channel partners. Our own presence in centres like Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, will enable us to repeat the success of western India in these markets. We already have around 200 clients in Chennai, around 150 in Bangalore and 50 in Hyderabad, and another 100 in other southern cities. We foresee a huge opportunity to serve various organizations in logistics through our products like Logi-Sys and Visual Impex, and other segments like engineering and IT retail through our new product – X-Ponent."

The product is designed to address the challenges of management of air and sea freight operations across locations, manage revenue flow, streamline documentation and meet regulatory requirements.

"The product portfolio expansion is a part of our overall strategy to go global and beyond the logistics industry.

"In difficult times like today, our products help companies reduce operational expenses, increase sales performance and improve customer retention.
