VAT and customs automation for cross-border e-commerce in Europe
eClear automates VAT clearance and customs compliance for cross-border sellers and marketplaces across the EU. The stack is test-heavy (Selenium, Playwright, JMeter, REST Assured) and documentation-focused (Confluence), reflecting the compliance-critical nature of tax software where regulatory drift and data accuracy failures are operational hazards. Active projects span VAT master-data maintenance across 27 EU countries, Chinese market expansion, and IPO preparation—suggesting the company is scaling beyond EU-only operations while managing public-market readiness.
