DUBAI, UAE, July 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Webb Fontaine, a global leader in AI-powered trade technology and customs facilitation solutions, is proud to announce that Guinea Customs has chosen its tracking solutions next-generation intelligence to improve trade facilitation processes.
“As a trusted partner of Guinean Customs, we are pleased to offer our advanced tracking solutions to drive efficiency and security in facilitating trade,” said Alioune Ciss, CEO of Webb Fontaine. “By combining cutting-edge technologies such as GPS tracking and RFID tagging, we are enabling Guinean Customs to take full control of their operations and improve the security and transparency of goods in transit.”
The solution includes GPS/GSM tracking beacons equipped with smart cable locks, which provide accurate real-time position and speed for freight trucks in transit. Alongside this, an integrated geolocation platform and Smart Transit system will ensure efficient tracking and management of tracking data.

The director of Customs, General Moussa CAMARA, Grand Officer of the National Order of Merit: “The objective of this project is to secure the transit of goods from Guinea to neighboring countries. This electronic tracking tool for goods in transit will significantly reduce dumping fraudulent goods into our territory. Therefore, using this tool will secure revenue and reduce fraud. It will result in better Customs performance.”

Traders will also benefit from the project by allowing them to start their transit journey as soon as a tracker is attached to their truck. Significant time savings will be realized by eliminating the physical customs escort, now being replaced with Smart Tracking. Another great advantage for traders will be a private access to the geolocation platform where they will see the live location of their trucks.
These advanced components reflect Webb Fontaine’s commitment to revolutionize trade facilitation for Guinea Customs.

These cutting-edge technologies align with SydoniaWorld and are compatible with the SIGMAT (Système Interconnecté de Gestion des Marchandises en Transit) project, showcasing Guinean Customs’ visionary approach to transit management.
This strategic partnership signifies the dedication of Guinean Customs to take full ownership of the project, with the majority of human resources coming from Customs staff, demonstrating their expertise and commitment to success. Webb Fontaine will act as a trusted partner, offering extensive training, technical support and consulting services to ensure a seamless implementation.
