Insights

Get the information you need to support organisational growth. The CAS Insights module serves as a customs control tower, gathering your customs data and transforming it into at-a-glance dashboards for analytics and controls.

How it works

Customs managers are typically provided with declaration data in cumbersome Excel spreadsheets, making it nearly impossible to present insight into company-wide import and export activities at the pace today’s businesses demand. CAS Insights provides a centralised view of all of your customs-related activities, allowing you to optimise costs, movement of goods, and customs operations.

 

When used with the CAS Declarations module, data is automatically populated into Insights. If you are using Insights as a standalone visibility and analytics tool, data can be easily uploaded by your customs brokers or any of your locations worldwide via Excel or using our standard APIs. The international data, regardless of language or data structure, is automatically standardised and consolidated into a centralised repository and can be analysed using multiple filters. Furthermore, content and graphs can be downloaded easily, so you can present your data coherently. Access is segregated based on user profiles, so each party can view the information pertinent to their role.

Welcome to CAS Insights: Your Customs Control Tower - 4 minutes

CAS integrates with SAP to automate our customs processes and keep us compliant with legal requirements. We have now built up our customs knowledge internally and handle all declarations and obligations in-house. This gives us full control over the process and visibility into our imports and exports. We are also realising considerable administrative cost savings.

Which reports are available?

Standardised reports and views include status of declarations, customs errors, validation errors, releases, exit confirmation, performance and speed of filing, current and potential duty savings, guarantee thresholds, and much more. Custom reporting for enterprises is available.

How frequently is reporting provided and is it accessible by any user?

Reporting is generated ad hoc and shows near-real-time status. Access to information is role-based and reports can be configured using various parameters. Insights can be integrated with your own BI tools. 

What type of data is visible via the dashboards?

CAS Insights allows you to view the operational, financial, and performance data of declarations filed by any of your worldwide locations or by an external customs broker in at-a-glance dashboards. Views include:

Operational: Total number of declarations by storage location; total number of declarations by Customs Flow Step; total number of declarations per month; top 10 countries by number of declarations; declarations with customs errors; declarations with validation errors. 

Financial: Customs duties by storage location; customs duties by Customs Flow Steps; self-assessed duties compared to customs duties; customs value by month; customs duties by month.

Performance: Number of declarations; average time from new to submitted; average time from submitted to accepted. 

Which other CAS modules do I need to use in order to use the Insights module?

None. CAS Insights can be used as a standalone module. It will produce dashboards and analytics based on the information provided by your customs brokers or worldwide locations. However, when used in combination with other modules available on the CAS platform, specifically Declarations and Special Procedures, you are able to gain real-time insights that give you complete control over your customs operations.
