India's Premier ICEGATE Compliance Platform
One filing engine for every SCMTR filer category — built to scale from a single desk to a fully hands-off pipeline, in three automation tiers so you pay only for the automation you need.
One platform, four filer categories, three levels of automation
The Sea Cargo Manifest & Transhipment Regulations (SCMTR), 2018 changed how every stakeholder in Indian sea cargo files data with ICEGATE — CFS/ICD operators as Authorized Custodians (ACU) and Authorized Transhippers (ATP), Authorized Terminal Operators (ATO), and Authorized Notified Sea Carriers (ANC). Manual processes, missed deadlines and filing errors are no longer an option.
Smashwing SCMTR Suite is an automated filing engine built for all four categories. It covers all 9 export messages, supports both API and MFTP channels, and — unlike single-version alternatives — ships in three automation tiers, so you pay only for the automation your filing volume actually needs.
| The Challenge | Smashwing Solution |
|---|---|
| Manual JSON creation — error-prone and slow | Auto-generated, MIG-compliant JSON (bulk in Advanced / Enterprise) |
| Missed ICEGATE deadlines and penalties | Automated submissions with real-time acknowledgement |
| Separate logins for API and MFTP | Single dashboard for both channels |
| No visibility into filing status | Instant uniqueId tracking plus final status |
| Manual digital signing bottlenecks at volume | Automatic bulk digital signing (Enterprise tier) |
| One-size-fits-all software regardless of category | Category-specific licensing — CFS/ICD, ATO or ANC |
| Cryptic error codes with no context | Automated error-code extraction with plain-language detail |
