4.1.2 Single Window Scope and Scale
e-GUCE is a Single Window for regulatory services that links the actors of foreign trade
through the exchange of information relating to foreign trade formalities –see the conceptual
diagram i below. At this stage, users can access data and processes in the e-GUCE
system using web-based application.
The e-GUCE platform integrates at data level with external systems, such as the Customs
Management System (ASYCUDA++), the CARGO system of the Port Authority of Douala (PAD),
and the System of the National Shippers Council for the cargo tracking note60 (BESC). It is not
interconnected with the Customs Management System due to technical limitations.
