Can customs clearance be more than just a cost?

On November 9, Camilla Rolandsdotter-Blomqvist from Geberit, Jimmy Berglund from Descartes, and Stefan Karlöf from SCE met for a filmed discussion on whether customs processing can be more than just a cost and on the benefits of automated customs and transportation management. 

It’s no secret that modern software solutions are key to increasing the digitization and automation of many administrative processes that are still often performed manually. With the right system support, manual administrative work can be automated, freeing up time for more value-adding and stimulating tasks. Countless administrative processes are streamlined every day with smart software, often based on AI and machine learning. The results include cost reductions, time savings, and improved quality and security. Customs processing has often been viewed as a cost, but with the right processes and IT support, customs administration can create value by automating manual processes, minimizing errors, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and reducing costs. Descartes has built a system solution with the goal of automating as much as possible of both customs and transportation management. The full interview can be viewed here:
