# 1. Horizontal networking

## EDI & monitoring: efficiency without media discontinuity

Synchronize your operational workflows with edbic and edpem. We secure the interface between your physical infrastructure and the digital data stream – **for logistics that adapt dynamically to your requirements.**

![Harbor picture-1920x1270](https://compacer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Hafenbild-1920x1270.jpg?width=500&height=333&name=Hafenbild-1920x1270.jpg)

### Seamless connection of TOS, PCS and other logistics systems

We end the manual effort and connect your systems through an automated information flow for more efficient processes and comprehensive control:

- **Transportation & booking:** Precise control via **IFTMIN** (instructions) and **IFTMCS** (confirmations)
- **Real-time transparency:** cross-system insights into shipment status and track & trace via **IFTSTA**
- **Terminal logistics:** Automated container notifications for incoming and outgoing shipments **(CODECO** / **COARRI**)
- **Order processing:** Digital transmission of orders **(ORDERS**) and confirmations **(ORDRSP**)
- **Shipping & invoicing:** Fast shipping notifications **(DESADV**) and legally compliant digital invoicing **(INVOIC**)

This standardization allows you to eliminate sources of error, speed up provisioning times and create a reliable database for your global business.

### Customs & compliance: Accelerated customs clearance through digital processes

With the support of **CUSDEC** (customs declaration) and **CUSRES** (authority response), we digitize your import and export processes. The automated interface between your systems and the customs authorities ensures faster release and comprehensive transparency regarding the status of your goods flows.

### TIC 4.0 ready: real-time intelligence for your terminal operation

By supporting the [**TIC 4.0**](https://tic40.org/) industry standard, we create a universal language for your port technology. We use **MQTT** and **JSON streams** to collect telemetry data from cranes, reach stackers and vehicles in real time.

This data flows directly into your systems to synchronize processes, plan maintenance intervals with foresight and significantly increase the efficiency of your fleet. The result: cross-system fleet control that is based on facts rather than assumptions and strengthens your **digital sovereignty** in terminal operations.

### Together with HPC: expertise for the port logistics of the future

 As the world's leading consultancy for ports and logistics, **[our partner HPC (Hamburg Port Consulting)](https://www.hamburgportconsulting.com/)** brings together experts, customers and partners to fundamentally transform port locations within the transportation chain.

 Our common goal is to develop these hubs into efficient and sustainable centers for goods, energy and data. This **holistic approach** creates added value for all stakeholders and strengthens the future viability of the entire region.

**Join us in designing effective port solutions** that combine technological sovereignty and operational excellence.
