East Coast Diversified Corp. announced that its subsidiary, EarthSearch Communications International, has launched a new proprietary RFID/GPS software platform designed specifically for customs agencies and revenue authorities.

Based on EarthSearch’s Global Asset Tracking & Identification System (GATIS), its new Customs Agencies and Revenue Authority Software (CARAS) tool is a fully customizable solution built upon the specific requirements of customs and revenue enforcement authorities around the globe.

The customized version of GATIS has been designed specifically to help customs and revenue agencies improve revenue collection and provide a streamlined approach to securing cargo between borders.

Positioned for use by government agencies with high levels of import/export activity in their territories, CARAS aims to simplify electronic cargo tracking (ECT), while also offering additional internal security features for agencies to manage access and activities related to monitored cargo.
