GLN Data aggregation
COMCIS aggregation services (1)
• Main aggregation services in COMCIS:– CSD service– Ocean carrier status service
• Target groups:– Freight forwarders & 3PL/4PL, both large companies and SME’s– International shippers
• SAAS business model:– Fee per transaction and per service– Exact fee determined by volumes and data providers
COMCIS aggregation services (2)
• End user benefits:– Different data sources available via standardized messages– Lower set-up and operating costs by using an existing shared
platform instead of point-point EDI links– Scalability and quick on- boarding by re-using existing
connections to data sources (e.g. carriers, CSD providers)– Sustainability and flexibility – GLN has a track record of robust and fast communication,
processing more than 4,5 billion messages a year
ICS-SEAP solution forwarders• ICS Entry Summary Declaration (ENS): Customs declaration for risk
analysis on safety & security (24 hour before loading in case of deep sea)• Currently ICS filing mainly sent by ocean carriers, demonstrated in Smart
CM• Within COMCIS we demonstrated automated ICS freight forwarder filing
for ocean transport• Challenges for the forwarder:
– 27 different EU country systems– Knowing the Customs filing country, office of first & subsequent entry & ETA– Knowing the route of the vessel
• Advantages of forwarder filing:– Better quality data for risk analysis Customs -> condition for facilitations (e.g. pre-
release)– Forwarder is in control of the process

• End user benefits:– Easy to use ICS solution in more than 20 EU Member States– Data aggregation and enrichment (sailing schedules)– Better quality information for risk analysis & Customs
facilitations (green lanes, pre-release)– Potential cost savings– Frontrunning multiple filing discussions EU
