+++ First joint project: new Customs Hub simplifies the creation of customs declarations +++
Hamburg, 26/05/2025 – The Hamburg-based IT service providers DAKOSY and Logward, both specializing in logistics, are joining forces in a new cooperation. With their combined expertise, they are working together to digitalize sub-processes in logistics. The first showcase is Customs Hub, which streamlines preliminary planning and consolidation of customs declarations. DAKOSY and Logward will jointly present a demo version at the international Transport Logistic trade fair in Munich from June 2 to 5, 2025.
As part of the cooperation, Logward is contributing its no-code platform, which makes the process of creating customs declarations significantly easier. DAKOSY’s established customs software ZODIAK GE provides the ideal counterpart. The new Customs Hub perfectly combines the advantages of the no-code platform together with the customs software and thus ensures efficient and targeted customs preliminary planning.
Its operation is simple. DAKOSY customs expert Lutz Hagen explains the digitalized process: “Logistics specialists and importers can compile customs-relevant shipment data such as invoices and shipping instructions in the new module, well in advance of the creation of a customs declaration. At the actual time of processing, the relevant data items can be selected on the Logward platform and then aggregated and transmitted to the ZODIAK software for customs declarations.”
Logward’s IT platform plays a central role. The integrated upload templates, flexible consolidation functions and intuitive user interfaces reduce the amount of manual work and increase efficiency – especially for service providers who process customs declarations for many different customers. At the same time, the process can be customized and further developed without the need for additional programming.
Christian Eick, Director Solution Consulting at Logward, is excited about the first customs application: “The cooperation with DAKOSY clearly demonstrates how our flexible no-code platform makes it possible to efficiently digitalize complex processes such as customs declarations – even without in-house customs expertise.” The market-ready solution was jointly developed in just a few weeks and does not require the use of additional IT resources. The partners will be presenting a demo version of Customs Hub at the international Transport Logistic trade fair in Munich.
Backround: No-Code Platform
A no-code platform includes a software development environment that enables developers and other professionals to create application software via graphical user interfaces and configuration instead of traditional programming.
