EDTECH: LEVERAGING AI-POWERED TECHNOLOGIES TO TRANSFORM THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
1. Technology overview
Nabu is a customs technology company founded in 2022 and based in France, with operations in Paris and Strasbourg according to Tech.eu. It targets the manual effort behind customs filings for freight forwarders, customs brokers and international trade companies.
The system collects clearance requests, prepares the customs file and generates pre-filled declarations inside the customer's existing customs software. Data arrives through API, EDI, SFTP or email, and Nabu can process emails, PDFs, Excel files, databases and TMS records. The site presents it as autonomous, flexible for workload peaks and auditable.
