Circle S.p.A. has announced the signing of four new contracts with Italian rail and multimodal logistics operators, worth more than €150,000 ($176,747), to deliver structured projects upgrading and migrating customs processes linked to MILOS eCustoms.
The initiatives are part of a context of regulatory and technological evolution affecting the customs and logistics sector, particularly in light of recent developments related to the MILOS® eCustoms system and the new AIDA 2.0 modules.
The project also involves the introduction of IoT identifiers for tracking goods between temporary storage warehouses, ensuring greater operational continuity and the evolution of existing rail traffic.
In particular, Circle will assist each operator in migrating IT flows to the new AIDA architecture, adapting document and operational flows relating to train arrivals and departures, yard entry management, rail mission transfers, and updating process messages and the application front-end.

This re-engineering will also resolve issues related to adjustments and cancellations of shipments and support more efficient and interoperable management throughout the entire multimodal transport chain.
The four contracts are part of the AIDA 2.0 adaptation process already undertaken by the Group for other application areas and represent a further step in strengthening Circle’s digital solutions dedicated to rail and customs logistics. The duration of the activities is approximately six months.
Some of the contracts are also part of the initiatives promoted by the LogIN Business call for tenders of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and confirm Circle Group’s strategic positioning in co-financed projects linked to the PNRR, supporting the digitalisation, interoperability, and sustainability of logistics and multimodal processes.
