Disruptive public
service digitalisation
reform

In the recent years, several agencies have expressed the ambition to emancipate slightly form the TIC processes and wish to handle a larger share of their responsibilities. An innovative and disruptive reform is possible. The program considers the modernisation and digitalisation of the public service. The solution gives to Agencies an enhanced operational control of the VOC program. The new processes and technology empower the bureau of standards over the certification process before shipment. With such reform, we end up with a real paperless process.

 Investment free

The technology is at no cost to the agency or the government. These programmes are self-financed. Investment is done by the providers.

Empowerment & ownership

The Bureau are becoming active in the VOC process. They and taking ownership with more control and increased part of the decision process. For instance, Request For Certification and Certificate of Conformity become the bureau’s documents with its own logo, and own validation before release to trader.

Compliance with International Trade Rules Improved

The system enables the Bureau to comply with the international trade rules while still acting as the Policeman of trade flows quality. This system is compliant to World Trade organisation requirement on trade facilitation and simplify the process which can be considered positively by the World Bank in the Doing Business ranking framework.

 Jobs and Capacity building

The bureau’s benefit form empowerment in the overall process, but also on the other sensitive procedures. The Bureau can hire staff locally and build capacity in country. Some operators are now located in country, in the Bureau’s own office.

User satisfaction increased.

The reform simplifies the traders’ daily working life! A more efficient service make user more friendly toward the system. The bureau can focus more on control that troubleshooting complaint from the importing community.

Enforcement improved

The solution brings a major increase in program enforcement. The interconnection between the bureau and Customs Authorities ensure that Customs properly applies the program upon consignment clearance. Control is made easier to perform by the Bureau!

Revenue mobilisation

Potentially, a larger share of the VOC revenues issued from CoC fees, paid by the traders, are now captured by the government. The additional revenue generated by the Bureau can be used to develop the local quality infrastructure, increasing the bureau’s resources and even invest laboratories.
