Today’s rapidly changing trade and tariff landscape demands a more agile approach to revenue management, border security, and logistics intelligence.
Traditional off-the-shelf solutions are inflexible, costly, and struggle to keep pace with these complex changes. And whilst they no longer meet the demands of today's fast-paced world, it’s the world Rulespeed was made for.
Rulespeed’s Real-Time Intelligence and Rules Management solution enables agile cross-border control of trade and travel. Rulespeed delivers significant operational efficiencies and financial benefits, and accelerates the global shift to smart borders and digital trade corridors.
As trade and immigration patterns shift and geopolitical tensions rise, Rulespeed enables agencies to adapt rapidly. Within just a 2-hour induction, your front-line officers and business domain experts can begin modelling, refining, and analysing rules and result data in response to new trade and immigration policies, potential high-risk scenarios, tariff changes, or international agreements. No extensive training required.
Trade and travel are constantly evolving, but Rulespeed ensures that border or logistics operations remain efficient, reducing processing times, minimising disruptions, lowering transaction costs for imports and exports, and improving revenue collection, all while keeping communities and countries protected from harm - even during times of uncertainty.
In an unpredictable world, manual compliance enforcement isn’t responsive enough. Rulespeed’s automated, real-time risk targeting ensures that you stay ahead of potential threats, fraud, and compliance issues, improving your ability to model and respond swiftly to new trade, security, immigration, and health challenges.
Maximize tax collection and duty enforcement while minimizing enforcement costs, fraud, and errors.
Detect and prevent a wide array of complex threats across passenger, mail, and cargo flows in real time with intelligent, automated risk assessments.
Traditional systems are slow and expensive to implement, but Rulespeed offers a cost-effective solution that can be rolled out quickly, ensuring your agency is always ready for the next change in the global landscape.
The journey begins with the Rulespeed Discovery & Implementation Team, working closely with your teams to define target operating sites—whether a single airport or a network of transit environments across land, sea, and air.
To ensure a comprehensive and secure border, Rulespeed seamlessly integrates with adjacent critical systems and event streams such as customs authorities, immigration, biosecurity agencies, law enforcement, health departments, and more. This interconnected approach enables Rulespeed to paint a complete picture of the dynamic factors influencing secure border access.
Once integrated, Rulespeed connects with Trade Single Windows (TSWs), smart e-gates, and digital security applications such as travel declarations applications, security scanners, and more.
Its API compatibility and industrial-grade event streaming platform allow Rulespeed to interface effortlessly with compliance and regulatory organizations, ensuring synchronized, up-to-the-minute security and trade enforcement.
Rulespeed’s adherence to World Customs Organization (WCO) standards enhances its ability to assess the import and export of goods and physical mail. By leveraging API- trade criteria, Rulespeed ensures that only authorized cargo and personnel pass through border logistics and warehousing checkpoints.
At the core of Rulespeed is its real-time rules management engine—a powerful tool that continuously processes data from multiple sources fed through its industrial-grade event streaming platform. This enables Rulespeed to determine who and what meets access criteria, and who and what, do not. Unauthorized or non-compliant entries are flagged instantly, allowing front-line officers to respond swiftly and effectively.
With tens of millions of people and tonnes of cargo transiting borders every hour of every day, Rulespeed scales effortlessly to match the velocity of global trade and security demands. But its real advantage? Front-line officers can adjust rules in real-time, instantly modifying access criteria based on factors such as duty regulations, health advisories, immigration settings, country of origin, and law enforcement alerts.
Officers can even model potential changes, reviewing projected impacts based on historical and real-time data, or whether prospective changes target single sites, or multiple sites, before making final decisions. This level of control and foresight ensures smarter, more effective cross border management.
Rulespeed is built on a secure, cloud-native architecture leveraging event-driven, API-enabled microservices deployed within a hardened, containerized environment. This ensures scalability, resilience, and interoperability across public, private, hybrid, and edge infrastructures—seamlessly integrating with both IT and OT systems.
The core of the RuleSpeed solution is a high-performance complex event processing engine, serving as the brain of the solution. Responsible for fast, accurate, and auditable decision-making, its effectiveness relies on a secure, reliable, and low-latency event streaming and data mesh platform—the nervous system that connects it to critical back-office systems and frontline sensory data, ensuring informed real-time decisions.
RuleSpeed is designed to evaluate thousands of intricate rules at line speed, enabling real-time analysis of passengers, cargo, and mail crossing the border. Insights are delivered through high-fidelity operational dashboards, powered by Elastic’s visualization capabilities, providing deep situational awareness and actionable intelligence.
