Advance Cargo Information System
ACIS: a tool box of computer applications:• To produce management information;• To address multi-modal cargo transit and transport
resource problems;
Each application is independent of the other…but is designed with a modular approach
to enable all to « co-habit » & freely exchange data in an industry-accepted standard form.

The Challenge
• To make the best use of existing physical infrastructure (the “hardware”),
• By fostering the “software” dimension of international trade and transport through: – improving the performance of transport operators and auxiliary
services, – changing the commercial behaviour of users, and – introducing innovative relations between public institutions and
transport providers and users
• As well as eliminating outdated procedures, and multiple, non-standardised documents, which result in additional transaction costs and unnecessary delays.
