Global Customs Integration
Technologies:
Discover how Progmatic revolutionized customs integration process for a leading customs platform, transforming challenges into streamlined global operations.
About the client
Our client was a leading provider of automated customs declaration processes with operations in major regions including the EU, UK, USA, UAE, and parts of Asia, offering comprehensive services like HS Code Allocation, Duty & Tax Calculation, and Restrictions Screening, facilitating seamless customs clearance for businesses.
The challenge
The client’s expansion necessitated rapid integration with various EU customs systems, each with its unique technological landscape.
Initially, Progmatic focused on integrating with the Netherlands Customs, which still relied on EDIFACT (an older and complex system for electronic data interchange) and developing the customs import clearance process system.
As the business needs evolved, so did the challenges. Progmatic was tasked with developing transit and export customs clearance flows and a tax calculation system, accommodating the increasing number of countries' customs systems requiring integration.
Our approach
Progmatic employed an extreme programming methodology, working in pairs for rapid response and adaptability. The team size varied from 4 to 10 developers, allowing for flexibility and efficient scaling in response to the client’s growing needs.
This approach enabled swift software delivery, crucial for the ongoing validation of their business use cases.
