Efficient and Secure Online Certificate Management:
ESC is committed to offering an efficient, secure and cost-free electronic silo certificate management system to participants. Simply and intuitively designed, the system offers a single and concise view of all the owner's electronic certificates.

The electronic certificates look exactly like their paper-based counterparts and can be printed out or emailed, etc. These hardcopies are, however, not transferable.

Electronic silo certificates can be viewed and analysed according to various logical criteria. These include: SAFEX compliant or non-SAFEX, silo location, silo owner, product, grade, when purchased, purchased from whom and daily or annual storage types.

ESC eliminates the need for couriers and does away with frustrating time delays for cash transfers or transactions waiting for paper certificates to move. There is no longer a need to check confirmations with silo owners – just efficient real-time certificate management, from anywhere at anytime!

Simple to register and easy to use:

New account application forms can be obtained from the forms page on the site or from support@silocerts.co.za. Once online, simple, user-friendly screens make navigation and transactions easy and convenient.
