Powered by the\nDescartes Thyme™ customs platform and a long-term collaboration, the\nDublin-based company has successfully scaled its operations, adapted to major\nregulatory changes and maintained the high levels of accuracy, compliance and\ncustomer service on which its reputation is built.\n\n“Growth creates opportunities, but it also places new demands on your\nbusiness,” said Derek Dunne, Managing Director at Manifests Ireland. “As\ndeclaration volumes have grown and customs requirements have become more\ncomplex, automation has helped us work faster and with greater accuracy and\nvisibility. Descartes Thyme gives us the confidence to scale while continuing\nto deliver the compliance and service our clients expect.

That trust has been invaluable throughout our growth journey.”\n\nThe close cooperation between the two organisations has included support\nthrough major customs modernisation initiatives and regulatory changes,\nincluding the implementation of systems such as AIS, AES and NCTS. During the\nperiod following Brexit, when customs declaration volumes increased\ndramatically, Descartes helped Manifests Ireland absorb unprecedented growth\nwhile maintaining operational efficiency, compliance and service continuity.\nWorking together, the customs brokerage specialist has consistently embraced\nnew requirements early, helping ensure smooth transitions and uninterrupted\nservice for customers.\n\nManifests Ireland is now focused on the next stage of its business strategy.\nHaving established a strong presence in Ireland and the UK, the company is\nactively exploring opportunities across mainland Europe.\n“We are increasingly supporting customers with cross-border trade\nrequirements beyond Ireland,” said Dunne. “As we expand into new markets,\nhaving a partner with global reach, proven technology and ongoing investment\nin compliance becomes even more important. Descartes gives us the confidence\nto grow knowing we have the infrastructure, expertise and support needed to\nserve customers across multiple jurisdictions.”\n\n“Growing from approximately 20,000 to 2 million declarations per year is an\nimpressive achievement and a testament to Manifests Ireland's expertise and\ncommitment to customer service,” said James Stafford, Divisional Director,\nLSP EMEA at Descartes. “For more than two decades, our teams have worked\nclosely together to help the company adapt to changing customs requirements,\nimprove operational efficiency and support international expansion across\nEurope.”\n\nAbout Manifests Ireland\n\nManifests Ireland is a specialist customs brokerage focused exclusively on\ncustoms declarations.
