Border Control

Protect your national borders effectively and enable cross-agency collaboration

ELEMENT of Public Sector™ helps customs officers improve the quality of interactions at border crossings while reducing wait time. Our customisable, award-winning knowledge graphs capture up-to-the-minute information about travellers and shipments, and enables you to visualise the relevant relationships between them. Border officials can then infer insights through smart queries.

Customs officers receive alerts of risks associated with travellers or shipments. Machine learning algorithms recognise forged filings and uncover patterns among shipment and traveller profiles that correlate with elevated risk. Natural language processing and contextual analytics methods extract unstructured data about shipments, such as paper-based filings or conversation transcripts, on the spot.

ELEMENT can interoperate with other intelligent systems such as vision recognition systems. Our platform can also access any open format for tariff listings and seamlessly build a representation equipped with a rules engine to highlight requirements for quotas, tariffs and inspections.
