March 22, 2005
Johannesburg, South Africa, March 21, 2005 - Lee Schoeman joins INTTRA (www.inttra.com) in the position of Regional Sales Director-Africa. Based out of Johannesburg, Mr. Schoeman will provide a permanent presence in Southern Africa supporting INTTRA's multi-carrier e-commerce shipping platform customers.
Paul Stephen, Managing Director, Indian Ocean Region, INTTRA said, "Building awareness about the benefits of working with INTTRA's global e-commerce shipping platform and network of ocean carriers is an important goal for the South Africa market. In the South Africa market, several ocean carriers require electronic bookings and shipping instructions as a condition of accepting cargo. The multi-carrier INTTRA-Desktop product fills that need. It enables customers to create shipping instructions and bookings offline. The shipping documents are then sent via INTTRA to the ocean carrier of the customer's choice via e-mail or web services." Paul Stephen continued, "Lee Schoeman's presence in this region will help us achieve our goals, and better serve our customers."
