Let’s discuss your goals, challenges, and the best way to move forward from initial idea to a scalable solution.
European logistics compliance built into the software
EU & Europe regulations can affect everything from data fields and business rules to integrations and workflows. We account for these requirements in the software architecture from the start, so compliance is built into how the system operates.
Mobility Package
Smart tachograph 2 on new HDV, driver hours and cabotage counting
Aug 21, 2023
NIS2
Transport enters critical sectors: logging, incident handling, supplier controls
Oct 17, 2024
EU AI Act
Risk classification, transparency and human oversight for AI features
Aug 2, 2026
eFTI
Authorities must accept electronic freight information
Jul 9, 2027
Cyber Resilience Act
Security obligations for products with digital elements, including telematics devices
Sep 11, 2026;
Mobility Package: smart tachograph 2, driver hours and cabotage
EU Mobility Package compliance software starts with tachograph data management: smart tachograph 2 integration for vehicles covered and the retrofit deadlines that followed. Cabotage compliance software counts three operations per seven days and the four-day cooling-off period. Violations appear before the check.
GDPR, NIS2 and Cyber Resilience Act readiness
GDPR-compliant fleet tracking software means a legal basis for driver location data, retention limits, a DPIA and access roles agreed with the works council. NIS2 readiness adds logging, incident handling, and supplier controls; the CRA adds reporting obligations. Telematics then passes your customer audits.
EU AI Act governance for logistics AI
AI logistics software development in Europe carries governance obligations: risk classification of AI features, transparency for users, human oversight, and logging of decisions and model versions. For dispatch and warehouse tools, that means documented models.
eFTI and e-CMR for electronic transport documents
eFTI software integration means structuring consignment data the way authorities will read it under Regulation (EU) 2020/1056. e-CMR software development covers the electronic consignment note under the 2008 protocol, with signatures and document versions. Drivers stop carrying paper, and roadside checks close on data.
Customs and border integrations for European trade
With customs software integration across Europe, one shipment can stay in a single workflow even when it crosses different customs domains. We connect systems through dedicated adapters for declarations, statuses, and deadlines, so operators do not have to manage each system separately.
ICS2 (EU safety)
What Modsen builds
ENS submission at house level, statuses, referrals and "do not load" handling. ICS2 integration services cover road and rail under Release 3
In force
Road and rail since 1 April 2025
NCTS/AES (EU transit and export)
What Modsen builds
NCTS integration software for Phase 5 transit declarations, AES exports with national migration schedules, readiness for Phase 6
In force
Phase 5 since 2 December 2024; Phase 6 from 2026
GVMS/CDS (UK)
What Modsen builds
Goods Movement References and UK declarations as a separate domain over the same shipment object
In force
Current
Passar (Switzerland)
What Modsen builds
Swiss import and export flows; Norway handled as EEA, outside the customs union
In force
Passar 2.0 imports from 2026
EORI/AEO/CBAM/EUDR
What Modsen builds
Validation and storage inside the shipment record, so reporting data is collected in transit
In force
CBAM definitive period from 1 January 2026; EUDR from 30 December 2026
For cross-border logistics software in Europe, each customs system needs its own integration. Modsen handles the technical side, while your customs broker handles the customs work.
Tolls, low-emission zones and transport emissions reporting
European transport planning has to account for more than distance. EETS toll management software brings toll rules and charges into route and cost planning, while transport emissions reporting software EU helps turn vehicle and shipment data into measurable CO2 figures.
EETS toll management across European toll domains
Toll is a planning input. We connect your toll providers to the transport platform so charges calculate per trip, per domain and per vehicle class, and reconcile against what the provider actually bills.
We handle:
Toll rules and charges across different domains
CO2 and vehicle classes where they affect toll rates
EETS provider integrations
Toll costs as part of route profitability
Low-emission zone routing and vehicle eligibility rules
A route can be technically possible and still be unavailable to a particular vehicle. Our low emission zone routing software checks eligibility against the rules that actually apply.
We work with:
Euro and CO2 classes
Vehicle weight, fuel type, and registration country
French Crit'Air/ZFE and German Umweltzonen
Restrictions and effective dates
Charging stops and available AFIR infrastructure
ISO 14083-aligned CO2 calculation per shipment
Our ISO 14083 emissions calculation software calculates transport emissions at shipment and journey-leg level using operational data.
We handle:
Shipment, leg and vehicle data
Versioned emission factors & shipment allocation
WTW/TTW calculations
Audit trails and reporting exports
Data can feed transport emissions reporting software for EU and ESRS workflows.
Integrations with European carriers, telematics and e‑invoicing
European logistics platforms rarely work with one standard or one provider. Modsen builds the integration layer that connects different European systems to your existing architecture, handling data mapping, transformation, validation, authentication, webhooks, errors, and country-specific requirements.
AI logistics software for European operations
AI can help logistics teams optimise routes, process documents, and forecast demand. Our AI logistics software development for Europe accounts for tolls, LEZs, driver hours, data residency, GDPR, and AI Act requirements.
Route and dispatch optimisation with toll, LEZ and driver-hours constraints
AI-assisted routing can consider:
- Toll costs and low emission zone routing software
- Vehicle and driver eligibility
- Driving hours and rest periods
- Fuel and operating costs
ResultResult: better routes with fewer unnecessary costs and compliance risks.
Document AI for customs, eFTI and e-CMR data capture
We turn logistics documents into structured data for customs and transport workflows:
- CMRs, invoices, and packing lists
- eFTI and ENS/ICS2 data
- Validation and human review
- Model versioning and audit logs
ResultResult: less manual entry and fewer declaration errors.
Demand forecasting and warehouse assistants trained on EU data
As part of warehouse management software development in Europe, we add AI for:
- Demand and inventory forecasting
- Replenishment recommendations
- NLP warehouse assistants
- EU-based hosting and processing
ResultResult: better stock decisions across countries while keeping data within the required environment.
