Automation in an EU transit workflow is not one big project. It is a set of small, high-leverage moves around the declaration, the guarantee and the discharge.
Automate declaration prep
Pull commodity, consignee and vehicle data from your TMS. Enforce T1/T2 status rules at data entry, not after submission.
The authorised consignor procedure walks through how Authorised Consignor and Consignee status changes the workflow at both ends.
Automate guarantee checks
Every declaration should check available guarantee headroom before submission. A blocked declaration is cheaper than a rejected movement.
Automate discharge reconciliation
Match every arrival notification and discharge message back to the originating MRN and mark the guarantee released. This is where most manual work hides.
Guardrails
- Human sign-off before any submission with novel commodity codes.
- Hard stop when guarantee headroom falls below a defined threshold.
-
Immutable audit log of every state change.
What not to automate
The judgement call on T1 vs T2 when facts are ambiguous.
Incident handling after seal breaks or route changes.
Automate the safe parts. Keep humans on the judgement calls. Watch a demo.
