New Technology Update Supports ICS2 for Faster, Smarter Customs Clearance

With the EU’s new Import Control System 2 (ICS2) now in force, businesses need smarter solutions to keep goods moving seamlessly across borders. The latest update to our Digicom platform delivers exactly that, helping businesses stay compliant while simplifying and accelerating customs declarations between the UK and Ireland. With enhanced EDI and API connections, the platform now provides a single-entry, one-click solution for managing multiple customs requirements. This means businesses can complete declarations faster, reduce costs, and minimise the risk of error when trading across borders.

“Our goal is to make customs declarations as quick, accurate and stress-free as possible," said Operations Director Colin Robb. "By automating data sharing and reducing the risk of human error, we’re taking the hassle out of moving goods between the UK and Ireland.”

In practice, the new automation features allows businesses to enter their data just once and automatically generate all the declarations required for cross-border trade. This includes the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) for the EU’s Import Control System 2 (ICS2), Pre-Boarding Notification (PBN), and Goods Movement Reference (GMR), ensuring a fully compliant and streamlined process. Businesses can choose between secure file sharing or full systems integration, giving them the flexibility to match their existing operations.

We are continually adapting our cross-border solutions to meet the evolving needs of customers in the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. With Digicom, we’re delivering an industry-leading service that keeps pace with new and updated border legislation.

Developed entirely in-house, Digicom brings together processes that were once spread across multiple systems into a single, easy-to-use platform. It has already delivered proven financial and resource savings for haulage and freight businesses, while supporting efficient and fully compliant cross-border trade. As trade regulations continue to evolve, we remain committed to ensuring Digicom adapts alongside them, helping businesses stay compliant, efficient and competitive in cross-border markets.
