Knowit announced selection as a cooperation partner in the contractual area for goods and customs handling. The agreement has a total value of up to NOK 270 million over six years. In the tender, Knowit received the best quality rating, in tough competition with several other large Norwegian suppliers.

Knowit will use several parts of its Norwegian organization in the assignment and in collaboration with Capra Consulting as a subcontractor. Central to the task of modernizing the Norwegian Customs' technical solutions is being able to handle increased volume and increased demands for efficiency - as well as securing an information flow that means that information of goods handling comes in advance or at the latest at the border crossing. Not afterwards, as it often is today.

Digitization is at the core of the challenges in the area of managing goods and customs, that the Norwegian Customs is facing. Modern technical solutions must support the Norwegian Customs to deliver in accordance with its social mission. This also includes a central task of further developing the Customs' development organization and contributing to building effective teams, concludes Singstad.
