ICE DIGITAL TRADE ORIGIN LIMITED

Ice Digital Trade Origin Limited is the driving force behind essCert, a cloud-based platform that digitises the creation, certification and movement of trade documents. By converting traditional paper certificates - such as Preferential and eCOs, EUR.1, ATR.1, EU/EC Certificates of Origin, Arab Certificates and USP Form A - into secure electronic versions, essCert enables chambers of commerce, government authorities, exporters and freight forwarders to obtain and share certified paperwork within hours rather than days.

The solution is already trusted by more than 400 chambers and governmental bodies across 18 countries, processing over 75 000 documents each month for some 60 000 exporters and forwarders. It integrates seamlessly with CRM, accounting, ERP, TMS and CTRM systems, and offers optional features such as credit-card payment, invoicing and VAT receipt handling. A forthcoming "ICE Certify" module will let chambers generate additional revenue by offering a suite of value-adding digital trade services to their members.

Clients consistently praise the platform's speed, cost-efficiency and responsive support, reporting up to a 50 % reduction in processing costs and a markedly smoother workflow for global trade operations.
