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 to configured customs systems to automatically retrieve supported electronic documents. The platform downloads, verifies and archives available documents according to the account and authorised access.

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.
