Spedi

What Spedi does

Spedi (legal entity SPEDI AS GmbH) is a Switzerland-based software provider that operates a web-based electronic customs platform for small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in international trade. The company is headquartered in Otelfingen, Switzerland, with an additional contact address in Brunegg, and serves a purely domestic Swiss market (CHE / DACH). Its offering is a unified web platform that handles electronic customs declarations and compliance documentation for both import and export workflows targeting Swiss SMEs (CH-KMU).

The platform consists of three integrated modules delivered as a browser-based application (webbasierte Zollplattform): Elektronische Veranlagungsverfügung (eVV) for electronic customs assessment notifications covering both import and export; Passar Export for filing export customs declarations; and Exportkontrolle for sanctions list screening, goods list verification, and export control compliance. The product includes a user-friendly document archive for historical declarations and exposes optional interface integrations to customer systems. There is no public API, no SDK, and no documented AI/ML capabilities in the platform.

Spedi operates a sales-led, direct go-to-market model. Prospective customers submit a quote request through the spedi.ch website, specifying annual transaction volumes across declaration types (e-dec Export, eVV Import, eVV Export, Passar Export) and required features (sanctions lists, rules of origin, interfaces). Pricing is subscription-based and quote-driven, with an annual billing cadence, and is not publicly disclosed. The company has 1–10 employees, no disclosed external funding, no named customers, and no channel partnerships — consistent with a self-funded micro-SaaS serving a narrow Swiss regulatory niche. The related SPEDI GmbH 'Transportorganisation' business line was discontinued, while SPEDI AS GmbH's software operations continue.

Core offering

SPEDI AS GmbH provides a web-based customs platform for Swiss small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in foreign trade. The platform covers three core capabilities: electronic customs assessment decisions (eVV) for import and export, the Passar Export procedure for filing export declarations, and export control with sanctions, goods, and indirect sanctions list screening. Customers request tailored quotes based on annual transaction volumes and required features.

Product overview

Spedi is a web-based software provider offering a suite of electronic customs solutions for Swiss small and medium enterprises engaged in exports and imports. The company's product portfolio centers on three integrated modules: eVV (Elektronische Veranlagungsverfügung) for electronic customs declaration management covering both import and export, Passar Export for export customs procedure filing, and Exportkontrolle for sanctions and embargo list compliance checking. These solutions work together to provide an end-to-end platform for managing Swiss foreign trade documentation, from declaration filing to regulatory compliance verification.

Broad incumbents

• Descartes Systems Group: Descartes offers Visual Compliance and broader trade compliance software including denied-party screening, export controls, and customs filing tools. A broad incumbent in trade compliance automation, overlapping Spedi's sanctions and export-control modules within a much wider logistics technology portfolio.
• Avalara: Avalara is a large SaaS vendor with a trade compliance suite (cross-border, classifications, restricted-party screening). Overlaps with Spedi's export control and sanctions screening modules but serves a much broader global customer base and tax compliance portfolio.
• Oracle Global Trade Management: Oracle GTM offers enterprise customs and trade compliance functionality as part of its SCM cloud. Overlaps with Spedi's customs declaration and export control modules but is bundled within Oracle's enterprise ERP ecosystem.
• WiseTech Global: WiseTech's CargoWise platform includes customs declaration and trade compliance functionality used by logistics providers globally. Comparable to Spedi on electronic customs filings, though targeting forwarders and large multinationals rather than Swiss SMEs.
• SAP Global Trade Services (GTS): SAP GTS is an enterprise-grade trade compliance and customs management suite tightly integrated with SAP ERP. Comparable to Spedi on declaration management, sanctions screening, and rules of origin, but positioned for large multinationals rather than Swiss SMEs.

Direct peers

• MIC Customs Solutions: MIC provides customs and global trade management software widely used across Europe, including e-dec and similar electronic declaration workflows. Comparable to Spedi as a SaaS platform that automates customs filing and trade compliance for businesses engaged in cross-border trade.
• AEB SE: AEB is a direct competitor offering customs and trade compliance software (e.g., AEB Customs Declaration, sanctions list screening) to mid-market European importers/exporters. Spedi competes in the same electronic customs declaration and export-control SaaS category, though AEB serves a broader European footprint.
• BeOne Group: BeOne is a Swiss-headquartered customs and trade compliance software/services provider serving European importers and exporters. Comparable to Spedi as a Swiss-rooted customs SaaS competitor with direct overlap on electronic declaration and compliance workflows.

Emerging players

• Customs4trade: Customs4trade (C4T) provides a SaaS customs and trade compliance platform — including declarations and regulatory compliance — targeting European importers and exporters. Comparable emerging SaaS peer to Spedi with partial overlap on electronic customs declaration workflows.

Others

• Customs Support Group: Customs Support Group is a large European customs brokerage that increasingly digitises declaration workflows with proprietary platforms. An adjacent service-provider peer — competes indirectly with Spedi when Swiss SMEs outsource customs rather than licence software.
