The Vita Group is a manufacturer of flexible polyurethane foams, Talalay Latex, and flooring products with production facilities in the UK and EU. Radium Foam is part of the Comfort division of the group with production based in the Netherlands. Their production planning and engineering take a front seat to sales and marketing, with consistency and quality being the top priorities from raw materials to packing and shipping.
To meet the DMS 4.0 deadline (newest Dutch Customs platform), Radium Foam needed to urgently change their existing customs solutions software. Their existing solution was unable to support the transition to DMS, which left Radium Foam facing the possibility of pausing international trade. This would have been hugely detrimental to their business.
Customs clearance software is essential for any business that wants to import or export goods across borders. However, many companies offering these solutions are unable to keep up with changing country legislations, leaving their customers without a viable solution to process declarations. Joland Beerens, IT Demand Manager at The Vita Group partnered with ECS International to continue trading through the DMS transition.
