Mazda Motor Logistics Europe Automates Customs Declaration Process

"Customs regulatory changes, such as the introduction of Paperless Douane en Accijnzen (PLDA), are making the declaration filing process more complex," said Nico Lejon, manager of European Financial Services at Mazda. "Descartes' cloud-based solution is critical to our business performance as we operate with tight plans and very strict time-lines. With Descartes, we were able to improve operations by eliminating manual processes and increasing the accuracy of declarations, as such reflecting the quality aspect of our Mazda products in our processes while keeping our supply chain moving."
