PITB develops imported sugar tracking system

LAHORE: The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) has developed an imported sugar tracking system that will help improve transparency and ease of monitoring from port dispatches to sales, a statement said.

The first of its kind digitalised system is now functional across Punjab, it added.

The system dashboard, available with the deputy commissioners, has enabled district governments to timely track the dispatches and transits of received and sold sugar across Punjab with the option of recording the payments against those consignments.

The system provides dispatch, receiving, transit, payment, and vessel details. This initiative will not only facilitate the government but also the relevant stakeholders by ensuring end-to-end tracking of sugar from the port to the distributors to sales in districts.
