ECS (European Container Services) is a leading provider of integrated supply chain logistics, based in Zeebrugge, Belgium. Operating across 35 European countries, including the UK and Ireland, ECS specialises in full load transport, temperature-controlled transport, and customs services. Their advanced supply chain automation, supported by an extensive intermodal network, is underpinned by sustainability and cost-efficiency.

After Brexit, ECS faced growing challenges in managing international logistics. They wanted to streamline contract management and ensure regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

Legalfly’s legal AI is helping ECS securely automate contract management, ensure compliance with trade regulations, and streamline customs processes. This reduces legal risks, accelerates documentation, and supports ECS’s innovation in supply chain automation.

How Legalfly helps ECS steamline supply chain logistics 

Automating contract management: Legalfly streamlines contract creation, review, and management, reducing manual workloads and ensuring accuracy.

Ensuring regulatory compliance: Legalfly helps ECS comply with international trade regulations across multiple jurisdictions, mitigating legal risks.

Streamlining customs processes: Legalfly automates customs documentation, speeding up the process and ensuring adherence to post-Brexit regulations.

Multi-language document review: Legalfly allows ECS to review documents in their preferred language, regardless of the original language, enhancing efficiency.

Automating insurance policy analysis: Legalfly quickly analyses insurance policies, checking coverage limits and exemptions, reducing human error.

Providing real-time legal insights: Legalfly offers up-to-date legal guidance, helping ECS adapt to new laws and trade agreements promptly.

Supporting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Legalfly ensures ECS operates responsibly by automating compliance and promoting transparency.

Enterprise grade security

Before Legalfly’s AI processes any documents, it anonymises sensitive data, ensuring that confidential information remains secure. This means any legal or financial details in ECS’s contracts, insurance policies, or customs documents are automatically anonymised, protecting client data at every stage.

By anonymising data before AI-driven analysis, Legalfly not only safeguards privacy but also ensures compliance with strict regulatory frameworks like GDPR, ISO27001 and SOC2. This allows ECS to automate complex logistics documentation with confidence, knowing that sensitive information is never exposed, shared or used for AI training purposes.

Spotlight: Automated insurance policy analysis

Previously, ECS manually analysed drivers' insurance policies, translating documents and reviewing them for coverage suitability. This time-consuming process increased the risk of human error, especially when policies were written in multiple languages.

With Legalfly’s Multi-Document Review, ECS has cut down the time spent analysing policies. The system allows ECS to upload documents in any language, review them in the preferred language, and ask questions across all contracts. Legalfly instantly provides structured reports, enabling ECS to swiftly check insurance limits and exemptions, and facilitating efficient shipments.

"LegalFly transforms our legal operations, providing tailored contract reviews. It ensures compliance and empowers our team to review transport contracts on our own conditions."

Focus on sustainability

Legalfly’s AI automates compliance and contract management, ensuring ECS adheres to international regulations while promoting transparency and accountability. This allows ECS to focus on sustainability, setting new standards for responsible logistics practices.
