IMP supports the requirements of carriers, terminals, freight forwarders, transport companies, importers and the relevant authorities to operate as a Single Window environment. It allows for the electronic and mostly-automated exchange of information and thus speeds up import processing to make it more effective.

For each import process on the disposition and the manifest, IMP creates a data pool that is repackaged for each process step (declarations to authorities, transport processing, etc.). Current status information is continuously updated and helps improve planning and scheduling options for all participants. Bottlenecks can be identified early on and can largely be avoided.
