Design and development of hardware, software and telecomunication infrastructure for turnover controlers

Smuggling, bootlegging, diversion of original goods and infiltration of counterfeited or original goods without payment of customs, tax and excise duties are major worldwide global problems for governments and manufacturers of many goods. The hundreds of billion € per year are lost in US, EU and other countries. The estimates for Serbia are much worse, proportionally. State-of-the-art distribution management systems are local in their nature and do not provide secure storage and transmission of transaction information for inspection by the government institutions, like: Customs, Tax and Excise Administration. Currently used devices can not deal with such serious problems. The proposed e-system, named turnover controller (TC), solves the problem of the integration of the distribution management system through all distribution levels, including monitoring by the appropriate government institutions. Expert software is add-on to the described system by enabling significant increase of control of tax collection through the detection of irregularities. The proposed TC system should be realized as specially designed embedded PC computer. The design and development of the software should be realized by using the state of the art Model Driven Development methodology, Service Oriented Architecture based on Web Services and XML and multilayer software infrastructure.
