ASYHUB Postal is an open, standardized platform for processing and integrating data between customs systems such as ASYCUDAWorld and UPU’s Customs Declaration System (CDS) for postal consignments. It facilitates the electronic integration of simplified postal declarations. The platform is designed to be cloud-native, using microservice-centered principles.

It Provides:

Enhanced visibility
Improved risk management
Easier maintenance
Horizontal scalability
Failover and high availability
A standard framework

End-to-End Supply Chain Visibility

Data Exchange and Data Integration Platform

Advanced Express Consignment Information

Facilitates the reuse of supply chain data to enable an efficient customs clearance process and timely delivery of express consignments.

Express Consignment Status Messages

Allows enhanced supply chain visibility and the ability to track and trace the movement of express consignments.

System-to-System Interface

Provides means to submit electronic air waybills (eAWB), arrival/departure notifications, and receive customs decisions (hold, release/no release).

Pre-Arrival Processing

Facilitates submission and processing of eAWBs, use of simplified declarations tailored specifically to express consignments, risk analysis, and automatic categorization of postal consignments.

Three-Step Deployment Strategy

1 - Understanding the Customs Environment

It is essential to fully understand customs’ current organizational and operational environment. This involves analyzing the customization of systems like ASYCUDAWorld and its associated modules, assessing the existing IT infrastructure, and reviewing the regulatory framework of the country or customs territory. This analysis ensures that ASYHUB Postal can be set up to meet specific requirements and function correctly.

2 - Deployment and Testing

Following the initial assessment, a bespoke version of ASYHUB Postal is deployed to the customs operational environment, allowing for testing prior to use. Once the setup is validated, the piloting phase begins.

3 - Piloting and Training

Piloting ASYHUB Postal includes training customs staff to use and maintain the system. It also involves educating stakeholders about the system’s purpose and usage. After resolving any issues, the system is fully deployed and made operational.
