The challenge
ChannelPorts faced a pivotal transformation with the implementation of the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS5), initiated by HMRC to modernise customs processes.
This upgrade presented ChannelPorts with an opportunity to revolutionise their operational efficiency, elevate compliance standards, and enhance customer experiences through advanced technological integration.
The solution
Responding to HMRC's directive, ChannelPorts partnered with Geeks to seamlessly transition from NCTS4 to NCTS5 ahead of the HMRC set deadline.
Through proactive collaboration, they deployed NCTS5-compatible systems, aligning procedures with updated EU and international trade regulations.
This strategic partnership ensured minimal disruption and maximised operational efficiency. This partnership focused on deploying NCTS5-compatible systems ahead of schedule, ensuring readiness for the mandated switch-over date.
ChannelPorts and Geeks reviewed and updated procedures to align with updated EU and international trade regulations enforced by NCTS5, establishing clear protocols for documentation, reporting, and compliance checks.
ChannelPorts and Geeks optimised workflows by redesigning processes and implementing automated solutions, thereby streamlining customs operations and reducing processing times.
By preparing and deploying the new workflow in advance, ChannelPorts and Geeks ensured minimal disruption during the transition period. This strategic approach not only ensured compliance with regulatory requirements but also bolstered operational efficiency and service reliability in the dynamic landscape of international customs clearance services.
The impact
ChannelPorts has firmly positioned itself as a leader in customs clearance by directly integrating with HMRC and proactively adopting NCTS5, ensuring over 90% compliance with updated EU and international trade regulations.
This strong adherence has reduced error rates in customs declarations by 15%, leading to smoother transactions, fewer delays, and enhanced operational reliability. The efficiency gains, including a 30% reduction in processing times, have enabled ChannelPorts to handle increased transaction volumes while maintaining exceptional service quality and reducing costs.
