Qatar’s General Authority of Customs (GAC) has officially launched its new “Customs Documents” system, a digital platform designed to automate archiving processes and centralise customs data. The system was inaugurated by GAC Chairman, H E Ahmed bin Abdullah Al Jamal, and marks a significant step in the authority’s technological advancement. The platform will serve as a unified central database for all documents related to international cooperation, regional meetings, and customs agreements.
Leveraging AI To Enhance Operational Efficiency
A key feature of the new system is its use of artificial intelligence to analyse the content of documents. This AI-driven approach is set to significantly enhance operational efficiency, streamline access to critical information, and improve collaboration across the GAC’s various departments. The platform also incorporates advanced mechanisms for information exchange and strengthens data protection and confidentiality in line with the highest applicable standards, contributing to a more flexible and modern work environment.
Aligning With Qatar National Vision 2030
The launch of the “Customs Documents” system is a strategic move that directly supports Qatar’s broader digital transformation efforts. By adopting advanced technologies like AI to modernise its operations, the GAC is contributing to the ambitious goals outlined in the Qatar National Vision 2030. This initiative underscores the country’s commitment to building a sophisticated, knowledge-based economy through the digitalisation of its government services.
