The problem

Pre-notification is slow, repetitive and unforgiving

Every regulated consignment of animal products, plants or high-risk food needs a CHED. Someone has to read a multi-page certificate, then type the consignor, commodities, weights and transport details into TRACES NT or IPAFFS. One typo can hold goods at the border.

Manual re-keying

The same data is copied from PDFs into government portals, field by field, consignment after consignment.

Costly mistakes

A wrong commodity code, net weight or reference leads to rejections, amendments and delays at the border control post.

Peaks you can't staff

Volumes rise and fall with seasons and trading days. Hiring and training people for portal data entry doesn't scale.

How it works

From document to CHED in four steps

  1. 1

    Upload

    Upload the health or phytosanitary certificate together with related documents such as the invoice or transport papers.

  2. 2

    Extract

    OCR and machine learning read every page and capture the data the CHED needs, including commodity lines.

  3. 3

    Create

    CHEDMaster fills in the fields and creates the CHED in your TRACES NT or IPAFFS account, ready for review and submission.

  4. 4

    Monitor

    Track every file in your dashboard. Warnings and processing errors are flagged so nothing slips through.

PDF to Excel data extraction

The same technology behind CHEDMaster is available for your other paperwork. We use Intelligent Document Processing to turn scanned or electronic documents into structured data you can use in Excel or your own systems.

  • Classification. Documents are recognised and sorted by type automatically.
  • Table and text extraction. Line items are captured from tables, together with standard fields such as dates, names and totals.
  • Validation. Extracted data is checked, and exceptions can be routed to a person when quality requires it.
  • Export anywhere. Results are delivered as Excel files or saved to the location you choose.
