The industry has applied IT extensively for 20 years, from early automation of goods and documents to modern day application of advanced robotics and data analytics.
Active collaboration with government has seen the joint development of numerous digital logistics enablers. Estonia’s e-border solution has been adopted by neighbouring countries and attracted OECD awards for improving trade and tourism. Country Single Window and e-Customs solutions provide streamlined permissions and reporting. Estonia sets the standard for cross-border data exchange in Europe today.
Estonia also benefits from digitally enabled infrastructure including smart ports, roads and cities. Real-time data from these connected networks, available on enterprise systems and mobile apps, ensure traffic flows smoothly and environmental impact is minimised.
