Case study: the team's earlier work
E-commerce imports
Brexit imports for a global e-commerce company, cleared by an Irish customs broker
Before Integrin was founded, its team built the system that cleared a global e-commerce company's imports into Ireland after Brexit.
When the UK left the EU, every shipment coming into Ireland from Great Britain needed a customs declaration. For the retailer that meant 20,000 declarations a day, for customers who expected next-day delivery. An Irish customs broker brought in the team to build the system that cleared them.
The system
How each shipment was cleared
Declarations built from the shipment data
The retailer's systems sent the shipment data straight in. Goods, values, origin and commodity codes were taken from it, and every shipment went on a full declaration.
Checked against the business rules
Each declaration was validated before it was lodged with Revenue.
Lodged and released automatically
Declarations were lodged as the data arrived, for 10 to 12 trucks a day, six days a week. Each release was recorded against the shipment and passed to the haulier.
People only where Revenue checked
The transport details were entered manually, once per truck. Otherwise a person handled a declaration only when Revenue chose to check it, for example a goods or document examination.
20,000
shipments a day, each on a full declaration
4
people at the broker running the operation
Next day
delivery kept for the retailer's customers
The outcome
Four people at the broker ran an operation of 20,000 shipments a day. Their time went on Revenue's checks and on running the operation. Goods ordered one day left the UK and were delivered in Ireland the next, on the same schedule as before Brexit.
