ASM ANNOUNCES CAPPED FEE INCREASE AND REQUEST FOR NEW MEMBERS
ASM has capped its fee increase at 6% this year to help minimise the impact of price rises on users, whilst at the same time ensuring they have sufficient funds to achieve their goals.
ASM’s annual charges normally increase in accordance with Retail Price Index Figures, which are currently at 12.3%.
In common with most businesses, especially in the technology sector, ASM has experienced rapidly rising costs across all areas.
ASM has recruited, with some success, a significant number of additional staff to cope with the increased demands of their users caused by the effect of Brexit and the requirements of additional software development necessitated by changing Government systems such as Customs Declaration Service (CDS).
These changes will continue for at least two years and require further recruitment of people with additional technical skill sets, to ensure they make use of new and more efficient technologies to improve the efficiency of Sequoia.
Join ASM as a member
ASM is “owned” by the freight forwarding industry through the medium of 50 Members, who are effectively its “shareholders”.
Due to the number of mergers which have taken place recently ASM has some vacancies, so they are looking for new representatives to take them back to their original figure of 50.
Becoming a member gets you admission to the ASM Annual General Meeting and means you qualify to stand for the post of ASM Director, should a seat on the Board become available. It’s your chance to make your mark on ASM and the work it does for the industry.
If your company uses ASM Software and you or a colleague are interested in membership, please contact Sharon Greer (General Manager) sharon.greer@asm.org.uk .
ASM looks forward to hearing from you.

ASM is looking for new members to join their community of 50 shareholders, as well as new Board members.
ASM is “owned” by the freight forwarding industry through the medium of 50 Members, who are effectively its “shareholders”.
Due to the number of mergers which have taken place recently, the number has fallen, and ASM is looking for new members to take them back to their original figure of 50.
ASM’s Board directors are drawn from this body of Members – so any reduction makes it is more difficult to replace directors.
Open to companies who use ASM Software, please contact Sharon Greer (General Manager) sharon.greer@asm.org.uk if a company representative would like to take up this role.
Membership gets admission to the ASM Annual General Meeting and is a step nearer to directorship, which will allow for the chance to make a mark on ASM and the work it does for the industry.
ASM looks forward to hearing from you.

Our Vision
The objective of SESAR is to modernise European ATM by defining, developing and delivering new or improved technologies and procedures (SESAR Solutions).
SESAR’s vision builds on the notion of trajectory-based operations’ and relies on the provision of air navigation services (ANS) in support of the execution of the business or mission trajectory — meaning that aircraft can fly their preferred trajectories without being constrained by airspace configurations.
SESAR Deployment Manager
The SESAR Deployment Manager (SDM) function is defined by the Article 9 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) N°409/2013. Under the oversight of the European Commission, the SDM function consists of the synchronisation and the coordination of the deployment of the Common Projects. A Common Project is a Commission Implementing Regulation which mandates the implementation of the most essential operational changes in the European ATM Master Plan by the Member States of the European Union and their operational stakeholders. The first Common Project is known as the Pilot Common Project (PCP) and is defined by the Regulation (EU) N°716/2014. The SDM synchronises and coordinates implementation against the SESAR Deployment Programme which is a project view of the Common Projects organizing their implementation into optimum sequences of activities by all the stakeholders required to implement. To develop and maintain the SESAR Deployment Programme in close consultation with all the stakeholders is another important task under the SDM function.
