In order to simplify and enhance the efficiency of foreign trade processes, reducing time, bureaucracy, and costs in import operations, the government and the Federal Revenue announced the replacement of the old Siscomex LI/DI with the Single Foreign Trade Portal. The first stage of the migration begins on October 1st through the Single Import Declaration (Duimp), which must already be completed in the new system. Faced with this initiative, companies such as theAsia Shipping, the largest logistics integrator in Latin America, is already investing in technologies that integrate with the government's new platform.
To ensure the agility demanded by these operations, especially in this new scenario of increasing digitalization, the company recently acquired the startup Dati, now offering a cloud-based platform powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The solution automates the entire import routine and autonomously performs nearly 87% of the processes in this business segment, from order tracking to cargo delivery, enabling importers and exporters to have visibility of their operation on a single screen.
According to Rafael Dantas, commercial director of Asia Shipping, systems like the old Siscomex, which has been in effect since 1993, have undergone few updates in recent years, which has encouraged the search for parallel platforms that can optimize routines and workflows.
“We are noticing a greater interest from customers in this solution that we have adopted, especially with the beginning of this migration that will begin now in October. With this new version and change to Duimp, there will be a completely different format, where the information will be forwarded in advance to the Federal Revenue Service. And in this sense, through the integration with our Dati platform, we will have an even more automated and user-friendly journey, with advanced data intelligence capable of providing valuable insights during foreign trade operations”, explains the executive.
In addition to automating import routines and providing flexible integration with other systems, such as the new Single Foreign Trade Portal, the Dati platform allows real-time monitoring of processes and provides customizable reports, adapted to the needs of each business and which assist in strategic decision-making.
“With the new federal platform combined with solutions such as Dati, integrations and validations will be much faster, in addition to having a single channel for standardizing import and export processes. This initiative will help minimize possible product interpretation errors and unnecessary fines. Without a doubt, this is a path aligned with global trends in terms of the flow of goods, capable of making Brazil more competitive and attractive for attracting new foreign investments,” concludes Rafael Dantas.
