Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) is a global leader in medical technology, supplying products that make a difference every day in hospitals and laboratories. Within Europe, the Distribution Center in Temse plays a central role: it is the logistics hub from which BD's goods flows for the entire EMEA region are managed. All customs and Streamliner activities come together here, making the DC the center of their operational continuity.
During our visit, we spoke at length with Annick De Vuyst, Customs & Compliance Manager at BD, and Birgit Van Brussel, Global Trade Compliance Manager EMEA at BD. Both professionals have impressive expertise in both logistics and customs processes. Their keen insight into the complex reality in which BD operates, characterized by ever-changing UCC regulations, stricter compliance requirements, and geopolitical shifts, immediately underscored how crucial a reliable software partner is for them. In an environment where any delay can impact the delivery of life-saving medical products, stability is essential. That is why BD has chosen Stream Software's Customs Streamliner®, which ensures that their customs processes not only remain efficient, but above all fully compliant with the latest regulations. Our solution automatically tracks UCC updates, tariff changes, and policy adjustments.
In the video, BD's professionals emphasize how valuable this form of digital support is. They explain how our platform helps to keep complex customs processes predictable, reliable, and future-proof, even in an international context where change is the norm.
