ELA Awards winner is revealed
Another successful edition of ELA Awards has ended. We are proud to announce that this year’s trophy is going to the winner of the Slovenian Logistics Awards organized by our member SLA – The Slovenian Logistics Association.
Congratulations for the finalists, we couldn’t be more proud of our members!
(Paris, 12 December 2023) – The NAFEZA single window trade solution with the CargoX Platform for Blockchain Document Transfer has won the prestigious ELA Award, conferred by the European Logistics Association at an event in Paris, hosted by France Supply Chain by Aslog, one of the founding members of ELA.
NAFEZA was developed by MTS and is the result of a dedicated drive towards digitalisation in Egyptian imports. The integration with the CargoX Platform for Blockchain Document Transfer (BTD) has made it possible for companies to transfer documents and verify their identity using a fully neutral, decentralised and highly secure environment. This has resulted in major savings in time and money for importers, exporters, freight forwarders and other involved parties, while government revenue has increased by 13% in the first year alone.
CargoX was nominated for the European Logistics Association’s 2023 ELA Award after winning Slovenian Logistic Association’s Logistics Project Award in October 2022. The CargoX and MTS solution was selected based on its complexity, originality, and usability.
Pictures will follow soon. The entire press release can be accessed HERE and the presentation of the winning project can be found HERE.
