What Our Customers Say
"Every export, every deduction is handled automatically. We have instant audit readiness and 100% data available at any moment. With CAS handling the declarations automatically through a single message, we no longer need to rely on brokers for this flow. The cost reduction of 84% speaks for itself."
"With CAS, the average turnaround time for a declaration, from the SAP trigger to the export and even import of goods, is about 22 minutes – this is 65 times faster! CAS is not only a huge time-saver. Over the years, using CAS, our costs have dropped massively. By replacing the use of customs brokers with the CAS system, we realise 46% cost savings every year."
"Automating customs operations created efficiency in administration and continuity in logistics, for example allowing us to load 24/7. This has given us a competitive advantage."
"By automating our processes with CAS, we were able to reduce our costs by 50%. Beyond its cost efficiency, CAS also saves us a significant amount of time in the declaration process. Since everything is triggered automatically from our ERP system, creating a declaration takes just one minute, and it is typically released in CAS within another minute. In contrast, working with brokers previously took at least 30 minutes to complete the end-to-end customs declaration process."
"Declaration times have been cut by more than 50%, dropping from around 30 minutes per shipment to as little as 10 minutes. In some cases, declarations are completed in under five minutes."
"Automating our customs declarations has helped us expedite import, export, and transit between the EU and UK as well as incoming shipments from the US to our warehouse in Belgium."
"Being able to do our own declarations instead of outsourcing them brings clear cost benefits, but another big advantage is the control we now have. CAS houses everything in one system, combining declarations and customs warehousing, so the flows run seamlessly. We rarely see issues, and when we do, it’s clear where to resolve them."
"CAS took over the manual work, often the more repetitive and tedious tasks, it freed up time to focus on other aspects of customs operations, such as compliance and reporting. Thanks to the automation in CAS, we have shifted from a reactive to a proactive approach in managing customs processes."
"We can rely on the data completely. CAS enforces accuracy and gives us a clear, real-time picture of our customs operations. It gives us peace of mind knowing that as soon as a file loads in, the system’s going to do everything. We don’t need to worry anymore. It just works."
"The support we receive is outstanding, unlike with customs brokers who often leave you to figure things out on your own. We know there’s always someone to contact if we encounter issues we can’t resolve independently. Beyond day-to-day support, we also benefit from quarterly reviews where C4T conducts a thorough analysis of the previous period and develops an action plan for the future. We truly feel well-supported by all the teams involved"
“CAS takes away the complexity. Once the setup is complete, the declaration process becomes straightforward and consistent. CAS notifies us of any customs errors or missing data, and we rarely log in to CAS. It’s an upfront investment that pays off very quickly.”
"Before the onboarding process started, we had just one concern: whether C4T would be able to deliver what they promised. We have a lot of shipments, so the standards are very high, and the work is extremely demanding. We were wondering whether the nice sales pitch would provide us with the benefits that were presented and whether the workload would really decrease with CAS. Having implemented CAS, I now have the assurance that this was an unnecessary concern since we are clearly seeing the savings in workload, time, and costs."
"CAS brings us huge time savings. Exports are now completed 75% quicker, and our import declarations have sped up by 50%. We used to wait for our broker to process our declarations for up to four hours. With CAS, our declarations are released in a fraction of that time."
"CAS’ single message double filing functionality allows us to fulfill all customs requirements for both export from Belgium and import into the UK with one single message, a huge advantage that was pivotal in the decision to go with CAS. It saves time by eliminating duplicate filings and simplifies processes, reducing complexity and the risk of errors for faster, more efficient cross-border operations."
"Working with CAS is straightforward. We love the ease of use, the automation and customisation possibilities, and the support we get from the entire C4T team and are very happy with the benefits it brings to our business."
"With the long lead time to Brexit, we had the opportunity to explore multiple options. C4T’s solution had been on our radar for a while, and as a company, we are actively focusing on automation across all areas of the business. Beyond efficiency gains, choosing CAS was a cost-driven decision, as it reduced our cost per declaration by a factor of ten. Given our substantial export volumes, this cost-conscious decision was an obvious choice."
