Insights
Support organisational growth by identifying savings potentials with the CAS Insights module. Serving as a customs control tower, Insights gathers customs data into at-a-glance dashboards, allowing you to analyse your customs operations and duties to improve day-to-day operations.
How it works
Presenting company-wide import and export activities can be challenging without the right tools in place; managing customs declarations in a manual environment such as Excel makes it nearly impossible to present insight into company-wide import and export activities.
CAS Insights provides a centralised view of all of your customs-related activities, allowing you to optimise costs by identifying savings potential, while simultaneously allowing you to monitor movement of goods and day-to-day customs operations.
When used with the CAS Declarations module, data is automatically populated into Insights. 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. Data and graphs can be downloaded easily, so you can present your data insights 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 - 3 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.
