What is a Port Community System?

A Port Community System or PCS is an open, neutral digital platform that enables real time exchange of information between public and private organizations in logistics, port and airport chains, including transport organizers, air freight and shipping companies, logistics and customs warehouses, customs brokers, terminals, customs and administrative authorities responsible for foreign trade, safety and security bodies, port and airport authorities, and government departments.

It optimizes, automates and secures all processes linked to the transit of goods, centralizing logistics data and linking together all operators involved in port and airport transit chains.

S)ONE is SOGET’s fourth-generation PCS. The platform was developed using the latest Microsoft technologies. SOGET has been a Microsoft Gold Partner for more than a decade. S)ONE is the fruit of more than 40 years of experience working with customers, research and development in support of global logistics communities, and facilitation of global commerce.

S)ONE incorporates innovative solutions suited to developments in regulations, practices and technologies, and addresses two main goals:

Reducing transit time for goods by simplifying and automating business processes;
Securing information in accordance with international standards.

This goes for all types of goods and means of transport, during import, export, transit and transshipment.

Its scope can include:

A terminal, port or airport, and the warehouses in neighboring logistics zones;
Several ports, terminals or logistics platforms on the same transport corridor, in the same region or country (coverage of points of entry, exit or transit of goods, including border posts, sea and river ports, airports, and logistics platforms in the hinterland).

S)ONE is currently operational at national level in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Jamaica; and along the Seine corridor between Paris, Rouen and Le Havre in France.
