Customs Innovation for the Future
Discover Deep Pass Scan: the App that replaces customs officers
Explore how Deep Pass Scan will transform the Swiss customs landscape, providing unprecedented efficiency and security. Franzosini and Ezdatacenter revolutionize customs: the App to replace customs officers based solely on facial scanning is born.
Introduction to the System
Deep Pass Scan: An App that replaces customs officers.
Deep Pass Scan is the new trust and facial recognition-based customs system designed to simplify the screening of goods and travelers. Leveraging state-of-the-art biometric technologies, the app verifies tourist allowance (up to 150 CHF) in real time and speeds up truck passage, dramatically reducing paperwork.
With predictive analytics, Deep Pass Scan speeds up transit times, lowering operational costs and optimizing logistics for transportation companies and tour operators. Users deemed trustworthy pass inspection immediately, while any anomalies are flagged for further verification. This approach makes customs more transparent and efficient, welcomed by our partners.
Our goal is to maintain an open and simplified customs by developing Deep Pass Scan in accordance with the political will of a freight traffic based on trust and multiple simplifications in place. This innovation marks a step toward the political will for a more open customs with fewer controls and more trust.
Introduction to the System
Deep Pass Scan: Customs simplifications and complete trust
This innovation comes at a time of profound changes in the Swiss customs system. With the amalgamation of customs and border guards, Switzerland is gradually reducing the number of officers specializing in the control of goods. According to recent data, at the Neuchâtel and Jura customs crossings, out of 60 active employees, only 2 still specialize in customs procedures for goods. This phenomenon is occurring throughout Switzerland, with a clear trend toward more automated customs and less focus on direct control of customs declarations.
The final breakthrough came with the approval in early March 2025 of a series of customs simplifications by the Swiss Parliament. The new measures introduced the possibility of reduced or even minimal declarations, with subsequent data transmission at a later date, basing the customs system increasingly on trust and less and less on direct controls.
According to some observers, this development suggests that Switzerland is already preparing the ground for possible entry into the European Customs Union. With an increasingly unstructured customs, the federal government may soon have to adopt the European system and regulations out of technical necessity rather than a deliberate policy choice.
In the face of this trend, Franzosini decided to anticipate the future by developing a system that fully digitizes the customs process and entrusts it to artificial intelligence and predictive analytics.

The app that decides which trucks and goods can pass customs
Deep Pass Scan is the first application designed specifically to revolutionize the Swiss customs sector. Leveraging the advanced use of artificial intelligence and facial recognition, this technology can analyze a driver’s reliability in real time and determine whether a truck and its cargo can cross the border without physical checks or traditional customs declarations.
This innovation stems from the need to respond to critical issues that have emerged with the increasing automation of customs processes. The system was designed to integrate seamlessly with the new digitized logistics flows and enable real-time data processing. With the new approach, the passage of goods becomes faster, less bureaucratic and compliant with new legislative directives that aim for a reduction in physical checks.
How Deep Pass Scan Works
- Face scan – The driver approaches the border and frames his or her face with the app.
- AI analysis-The system examines somatic traits, facial micro-expressions, and the history of previous transits.
- Reliability calculation-The algorithm assigns a score based on more than 300 biometric and behavioral parameters.
- If the score exceeds the confidence threshold, the truck passes without inspection.
- If the AI has doubts, the driver is flagged for follow-up checks, and the load may be subject to further verification.

Frequently Asked Questions about Deep Pass Scan
Learn more about how Deep Pass Scan can revolutionize the way you handle Customs clearance.
How does the Deep Pass Scan system work?
Deep Pass Scan uses advanced facial recognition technology and predictive analytics to verify the reliability of drivers and travelers in real time. The driver or passenger frames their face with the app, which analyzes somatic features and other biometric parameters. Based on this data, the algorithm assigns a trust score: if the threshold is exceeded, passage takes place without physical checks or further documentation; if there are doubts, the system flags the user for further verification. This mode simplifies border flows, reduces waiting times, and ensures that customs occurs in a faster, safer, and more trust-oriented manner.
What security and privacy guarantees does Deep Pass Scan offer?
Deep Pass Scan uses encryption protocols and secure servers to protect users’ biometric data and personal information. All analysis takes place in real time, preventing unauthorized storage of sensitive data. The system was developed in accordance with current privacy and data protection regulations, ensuring an optimal balance between speed of scanning and protection of personal information.
How is the CHF 150 tourist allowance handled?
Deep Pass Scan automatically recognizes travelers who fall within the CHF 150 allowance, allowing them to cross the border without further paperwork. If, however, the system detects a purchase or value of goods that exceeds this threshold, the procedure prompts the user to make a more accurate declaration. This approach makes customs simpler and more transparent for tourists, while maintaining timely control over any cases that require additional verification.
Can Deep Pass Scan be used in commercial and tourist traffic?
Deep Pass Scan is designed to work in both commercial and tourist traffic, adapting to different types of vehicles. Based on predictive analytics and facial recognition, the system analyzes the face of drivers or passengers in real time and assesses their reliability. In an environment where training of customs officers is increasingly lacking, this innovation ensures smoother customs passage, reducing transit time and enabling greater efficiency for transportation companies and travelers.
Does Deep Pass Scan require a specific infrastructure to work properly?
No, Deep Pass Scan was developed to be compatible with existing customs infrastructure and does not require particularly complex instrumentation. Once installed on control devices (such as tablets or fixed locations), the system leverages the Internet connection for real-time analysis of biometric data. This approach allows for a gradual and flexible implementation at both main and secondary customs crossings, offering broad accessibility without significantly impacting already operational border facilities.
