Karachi International Container Terminal Selects Xenos GoXML software for Improved Shipping Logistics

Xenos Group Inc. (TSX: XNS - News), the data to e-content company(TM), today announced that Karachi International Container Terminal (KICT), Pakistan's leading container handling facility, has selected GoXML software to integrate electronic transaction processing for improved logistics in the country's ports. GoXML will increase communications efficiencies with a single, open-standards based platform across multiple organizations for faster import and export processes. iBridge Capital Group, Xenos' distributor partner in Asia, specializing in enterprise information management, led the project discussion and worked closely with the KICT team to meet their requirements.

KICT is the first pilot site for the Customs Administration Reform (CARE) Project, an in-house initiative of Pakistan Customs and Central Board of Revenue. With the support of International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, it will improve efficiencies and reduce clearance times for commercial goods coming into and leaving Pakistani ports. Currently, KICT uses a mix of non-standard EDI messaging and various international standard EDIFACT data formats. These incompatible data formats make communication between KICT and multiple shipping lines, business partners and government agencies a time- consuming procedure.
