EZdatacenter, how does it work?

Pick a question. The video plays from the right moment.

Deep dive

Since 1 March 2018, the digitalisation of assessment decisions has made paper «yellow slips» obsolete. EZdatacenter automates the retrieval, checking and archiving of IMIe.

How the process works

EZdatacenter is a cloud platform that connects directly to customs systems to automatically retrieve all electronic documents. No manual intervention is required: the platform downloads, verifies and archives every document in a fully automated way.

The workflow is simple:

  • Automatic retrieval — Customs documents are automatically retrieved from the customs portals (Switzerland, Italy, UK)
  • Checking and verification — Every document is automatically checked to verify the accuracy of amounts and the completeness of data
  • Linking to operations — Documents are automatically associated with the relevant shipments and the freight forwarder's accounting statements
  • Compliant archiving — All documents are archived in accordance with current regulations, with preservation guaranteed for 10 years
  • Immediate access — The web portal lets you consult, search and download any document in seconds

Why EZdatacenter

Before EZdatacenter, companies had to log in manually to customs portals, download files one at a time, check amounts with Excel spreadsheets and archive everything on local servers. A process that required hours of work every week and was prone to human error.

With EZdatacenter, all of this disappears. The platform works in the background 24/7, ensuring that every document is always available, verified and compliant. EZ as in easy.
