Connect Spring GDS
Spring GDS specialises in cross-border delivery and for that wants more than an address: shipments outside the EU need customs data, with contents, value and HS code per line. Today you retype that per shipment from Bol.com or your webshop and fill the customs form by hand, which is slow and error-prone. Schakel hands every order to Spring GDS complete, including that data, and puts the tracking back to the source.
