Our story began in December 2019 when we assembled an IT team to implement the customs reform. Some of these talented people are still part of our team today, having been with us throughout our entire journey.

We started with an ambitious list of projects and work goals: inspector and taxpayer cabinets, infrastructure development, a BI system, automation, and a risk management system.One day, while toying with the abbreviations formed from the names of our work areas, we stumbled upon "CAPIBARA," which reminded us of the capybara animal. As time passed, the capybara evolved into our informal mascot, and we became a real team capybara.

In our two years of operation, we had the misfortune of working under the leadership of six different heads of the State Customs Service, and we had to persuade each of them of the need for IT reforms within customs. Throughout this period, we have gained valuable experience, achieved successes, and, to be honest, encountered some disappointments.

We are proud to have implemented the BI system, launched open data, developed the NCTS joint transit system and a new website, and successfully tested several products, including the maritime checkpoint logbook and a new automated risk system using ML technologies.
