Scaffold Digital Wins 2024 Belfast Telegraph IT Award for IT Project of the Year
Scaffold Digital is celebrating a monumental achievement after being awarded IT Project of the Year at the 2024 Belfast Telegraph IT Awards. The company’s innovative Digicom Customs project was recognised for its transformative impact on Northern Ireland’s post-Brexit trading environment.
The Belfast Telegraph IT Awards brought together the best of Northern Ireland’s tech industry, and Scaffold Digital emerged as the standout winner in a highly competitive category featuring some of the region's biggest names in technology.
“The whole team was delighted to receive this award, and there’s been a real buzz ever since,” said Tim Proctor, Managing Director of Scaffold Digital. “Given the strong competition, this recognition highlights the hard work, innovation, and determination of our team. Winning IT Project of the Year not only validates our efforts but also cements our position as a leader in the Northern Ireland tech industry.”
The Digicom Customs project was developed in partnership with Derry Bros Customs Clearance to address significant challenges introduced by Brexit and the Northern Ireland Protocol. The sudden changes in customs regulations disrupted the shipping industry, creating confusion, delays, and administrative burdens for businesses.
“Before Digicom Customs, businesses had to manually navigate an increasingly complex customs landscape, which led to delays, errors, and increased costs,” explained Tim Proctor (Managing Director of Scaffold Digital). “Our solution automates the customs clearance process, reducing processing times by up to 600%. By integrating directly with government systems like TSS, Irish Revenue, and HMRC, and offering seamless data imports, Digicom Customs empowers hauliers, logistics companies, and businesses to focus on their operations instead of regulatory red tape.”
The judges praised the project for its innovative approach to these challenges, demonstrating Scaffold Digital’s ability to deliver impactful solutions that adapt to evolving industry needs.
“As a software company, our expertise lies in leveraging technology to create bespoke, impactful solutions for our clients,” added Tim Proctor. “Staying ahead of emerging trends and technologies is essential to our success, and this commitment is evident in award-winning projects like Digicom Customs.”
