WATERLOO, Ontario, 2012-09-18 12:45 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting
logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Mazda Motor
Logistics Europe N.V., the Belgian-based operation of leading automotive
manufacturer Mazda Motors, is using Descartes' cloud-based customs solution to
automate declaration filings in Belgium.
'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 timelines. 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.'
Descartes' cloud-based customs solution for the EU provides efficient and
accurate customs declarations filing and clearance in Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg. The solution provides modular capabilities including import,
export and transit management; excise management; combined declarations;
emergency procedures; customs warehouse management; and more. Customers also
benefit from its user-friendly design and rapid implementation.
'Businesses with high volume cross border operations, like Mazda, benefit from
a single, integrated solution that simplifies the complexities of customs
clearance in the European market,' said Fred van der Heide, VP Product Strategy
at Descartes. 'Legislation across member states is constantly changing, but we
leverage our cloud-based platform and relationships with EU customs authorities
to help keep our customers up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements.'
