In 2002, a group of leaders in their respective fields and early adopters of new technologies came together to form Webb Fontaine. Its goal was clear: to improve the Customs and Trade environment by providing government agencies and commercial enterprises with cutting-edge technology and knowledge. The Customs solutions, the company\u2019s starting point, was the inspiration for its first solutions. The market demanded cutting-edge innovations that would improve efficiency and security. What Webb Fontaine\u2019s Customs solutions did was that and more.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur Customs solutions were developed to address fundamental issues that Customs departments all around the world were experiencing\u201d Alioune Ciss, CEO Webb Fontaine<\/p>\n
First deployed in Nigeria with its partnership with Nigeria Customs Service. Playing a proud role in one of the regions most advanced Customs environments underpinning millions of Nigerian imports and exports a year. Still today enabling Customs revenue collection to continue on an upward trend despite the threat posed by Covid-19 and other such industry challenges.<\/p>\n
Following the success of its Customs solutions in multiple countries it was apparent that the Trade industry as a whole could not continue to develop and keep up with demand without fundamental advancements and investments in Trade technology as a whole. The Trade eco-system was operating in a fragmented and suboptimal manner producing severe and costly delays, loss of Customs revenues and mis-management of risks.<\/p>\n
Webb Fontaine focused its efforts on this investing heavily in its research and development capabilities. In order to support the development and expansion of its portfolio of products. The company was determined to produce solutions that not only used the latest technology, but covered nearly the entire spectrum of Trade. Today Webb Fontaine operates 5 state-of-the-art R&D facilities around the world.
