Decision intelligence platforms can improve decision making at all levels
of the organization:
Strategic Level - equip analysts and senior decision-makers with the tools
to detect trends and make strategic decisions of where to focus their
organization's enforcement to best maintain security and ensure customs
compliance. For example, a nation-wide surge in overdoses and deaths
caused by a specific illegal drug, indicates a need to investigate where and
how this drug is being bought into the country and increase enforcement
on those avenues, while allocating fewer enforcement resources to other
areas.
Operational Level - enable analysts and investigators to detect suspicious
patterns, new financial channels and changing methods of operation used
by bad actors, and then build risk profiling models, develop guidelines, and
conduct strategic workforce planning.
Tactical Level - guide field personnel to proactively inspect specific
containers, shipments, passengers, etc. that are assessed to be high
risk, and steer analysts and investigators to investigate specific brokers,
shippers, companies, and other entities judged to be suspicious.

customs declarations, invoices, and manifests

etc. for inspection
