In an interview, the Director of Operations at Ghana Link Network Services Ltd Raymond Amaglo expressed gratitude to the stakeholders across the supply chain for their collaboration and efforts towards the successes achieved in the clearance chain.
“They have helped us to identify which areas which should make improvements to, and they have brought suggestions on how we should streamline the processes.
"Because of that collaboration, it helped for us to overcome all the challenges that have come across the period that we have implemented our solutions,” he said.
