Border terminal data consistency is the degree to which data remains non-contradictory across multiple systems and processing steps. A border terminal typically uses several platforms: one for customs declarations, one for cargo clearance, one for shipment tracking, and one for accounting. If System A marks a shipment as «cleared» but System B still shows «pending payments», or if goods descriptions in the customs document differ from the freight manifest, consistency gaps emerge. These gaps lead to delays, unnecessary inspections, or compliance risks. Freight forwarders and authorities therefore invest in data interfaces and reconciliation routines.
