Challenge
For cross-border shipments, customs clearance is a laborious step involving many parties: online shops, transport companies and authorities. The group wanted to map the process in a single solution and automate it as far as possible.
Solution
Novotec took the lead in development and architecture and built a logistics solution with an integrated workflow: microservices in the AWS cloud with Java, Spring and Angular, Kafka for message flow and Elasticsearch for search. AI elements handle parts of customs clearance autonomously.
Result
Customs clearance runs partly autonomously, with a high degree of automation across the entire process. Transport companies, authorities and online shops are connected to one shared solution.
Background
The solution connects everyone involved in a shipment: the shops where orders are placed, the transport companies and the authorities. An integrated workflow guides each shipment through the necessary steps.
Wherever possible, customs clearance runs without intervention. AI elements take over tasks that were previously done by hand. The solution consists of microservices and runs in the AWS cloud.
Novotec took the lead in development and architecture, onboarded new developers and supported the development team.
