As part of its commitment to digital transformation and continuous improvement in logistics processes, Ian Taylor announced the incorporation of a new enhancement to its payment service aimed at Customs Brokers and Consignees using the Container Delivery Order, developed by Smart Flux. This is the Payrolls, a solution that will allow the simultaneous payment of numerous releases in a single operation, simplifying the process and providing greater speed and control.

This new module is aligned with Ian Taylor’s vision as Agency 4.0, consolidating its platform as a cutting-edge tool that reduces waiting times, eliminates cumbersome procedures and significantly improves the customer experience. This new service comes in addition to the latest improvements made to the Smart Flux application, including the incorporation of the Export Bl’s Delivery Order, which was incorporated at the beginning of July.

Greater order, control and flexibility is what this new payment service enhancement allows.

This improvement to the service makes it possible for a customs agency processor to load all the payments that need to be made to the shopping cart; subsequently, the treasurer (Finance) of the company or agency reviews and approves; while the proxy (manager/owner) performs the payment authorization in a single operation, avoiding having to do it one by one.

“This innovation has been very well received by customs agents, as it allows them to move from a system that only allowed them to pay one invoice at a time, to one that allows them to add as many transactions as they need through the shopping cart, to pay them all with just one movement,” said José Groetaers, Business Development Manager, Ian Taylor.

In general, Ian Taylor’s digital system has been key to modernizing the logistics chain, integrating functionalities such as Demurrage Payment, BL Viewer, insurance policy purchase and exchange rate consultation, all accessible online. Now we are taking another step forward with Payroll, to make the operation even easier for our clients,” said José Groetaers.
