Hamburg-based software company Dakosy announced that ground handling service provider PortGround GmbH, a subsidiary of Mitteldeutsche Flugahfen AG, is now leveraging its e-commerce customs software for its operations at Leipzig/Halle Airport.
The new software, known as ZODIAK, which is approved for all ATLAS Customs procedures seeks to simplify workflows for customs clearance through handling e-commerce shipments arriving at the airport through digital and automated processes.
With this interface, the software is intended to enable automated customs information processing and triggering of customs procedures.
“The new Customs software expands our comprehensive logistics portfolio and supports us, especially in the steadily growing e-commerce business,” said Alexander König, managing director of PortGround GmbH.
In practice, PortGround GmBH sends the flight manifest data (FFM) for all expected shipments to the Dakosy customs software.
This automatically extracts the relevant customs information from the manifests and triggers all pending Customs processes.
“In times of growing e-commerce business, a smooth supply chain is important to guarantee punctual delivery for customers and consumers.
“The digital handling of Customs processes is an essential part of this,” says Ulrich Wrage, CEO of DAKOSY Datenkommunikationssystem AG
“We are confident that with our support, Leipzig/Halle Airport will become an air cargo hub that pioneers the digitalization of e-commerce for the future.
Moves to digitize and increase operational efficiency such as this will likely prove useful to airport stakeholders as LEJ prepares for future demand with its massive infrastructure expansion.
