Introduction :

Globalization of trade and services gives big impacts to businesses around the world. Recently, the liberalisation of the service sectors that is coming into force within the ASEAN countries has indicated that businesses have to reconsider and realign their business strategies. The open up of trade of goods and ser-vices within the ASEAN countries has led to more intense competition , which reflects the importance to be more competitive in order to stay longer in business. This scenario should be taken as a challenge by the industry players especially in logis-tics due to their function in facilitating the trading activities worldwide.

Similarly, the demand for an efficient and effective information management that can support the trade process is becoming crucial. Thus, Single Window has become a vital mechanism that can promote better regional trade process. Single window is ini-tiated to improve the clearance process and act as a solution to multiple windows, which could enhance the industry productivity.

In Malaysia, as part of the trade facilitation plan, the development of national single window led by Dagang Net Sdn Bhd has increasingly benefitted the logistics industry through the custom system that bridge the trade process especially with related government agencies and traders.
