Webb Fontaine, a leading provider of solutions for trade facilitation powered by artificial intelligence and new generation of IT systems, has been awarded a five-year contract with the Ministry of Economic Development for the Republic of Maldives to install, configure and maintain a turnkey National Single Window (NSW) platform for Trade in the Maldives.
Expected to go live by end of next year, the Maldives National Single Window (MNSW) will streamline international trade procedures by providing an integrated platform for trade, transport and logistics operations. It will enable transparency, faster clearances, cutting cost through reducing delays and improve trade compliances. It will in turn optimize the processing of import and export information with certainty and predictability for the trade community in the Maldives.
The contract between Webb Fontaine and the Ministry of Economic Development for the Republic of Maldives is part of the country's drive towards digitization and is a huge step in the right direction for the trade community of Maldives.
Didier Reymond, CEO at Webb Fontaine said, "The agreement between Webb Fontaine and the Ministry of Economic Development for the Republic of Maldives marks a milestone for both parties. With the implementation of the MNSW, time and cost will be significantly reduced for both government agencies and private sector stakeholders. It will assist in eliminating inefficiencies that currently arise from procedures that are mostly paper-based."
The implementation of MNSW will provide the Maldives with a modern and effective customs administration, streamlined and transparent business procedures and improved merchandise trade within the private sector for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Honorable Fayyaz Ismail, Minister of Economic Development, Republic of Maldives said, "Our partnership with Webb Fontaine is a testament to our commitment as a country to modernize and streamline our current trade procedures. Working together to enhance and optimize our international trade platform will have a huge positive impact on the ease of doing business with the Maldives."
