Given the enormity of our export operations, the business case for investing in CAS was clear. We knew from our experience working with C4T for AEO certification that their knowledge in the customs field is unparalleled, which gave us confidence in their solution.

The B.I.G. onboarding project was a challenge as it was driven by the strict Brexit deadline. In the last days of 2020, the EU-GB Trade agreement was signed. That meant we had to make several changes before 4 January, B.I.G.’s official go-live date, so they could benefit from the trade agreement as of day one.

A digital-first future for customs

Transport and logistics obstacles can be quickly resolved without the need for external parties, and your internal teams can easily manage trade without extensive knowledge of customs procedures or specific supply chain flows, as everything is automated within our digital customs compliance platform, CAS.

In the manufacturing industry, the speed and efficiency of customs processes are critical to maintaining smooth production and delivery schedules. Delays at customs can result in production stoppages, missed deadlines, and increased costs—whether through wasted materials, penalties, or dissatisfied customers. If you work in manufacturing, you may not always focus on customs operations until a delay threatens your supply chain and disrupts production. By automating these processes with CAS, you can take back control, reduce waiting times at borders, and ensure goods move seamlessly through the supply chain with maximum visibility and minimal disruption. This allows your operations to run smoothly and keeps your production on track, even as your international trade expands.

Managing various customs formalities in the manufacturing industry can be both time-consuming and complex. By using a system like CAS, manufacturers can implement a standardised declaration process across all countries, streamlining cross-border transport and ensuring smooth operations. CAS is designed to give companies greater control, visibility, and in-depth analytics over their customs operations.

With our customs software, you can achieve efficient operations with minimal delays at borders and enhanced visibility across your entire supply chain.

CAS not only automates the creation and submission of customs declarations, but its unique single message, double filing feature also simplifies the process by handling all the necessary declarations for a shipment in one go. With a single message, CAS simultaneously submits an export declaration in the country of departure and an import declaration in the destination country, along with transit documentation, ensuring frictionless border crossings and reducing potential disruptions.

Additionally, CAS leverages Special Procedures to further enhance cash flow and operational efficiency. These procedures allow manufacturers to store, temporarily use, process, or repair goods with suspension or relief from import duties. This functionality not only minimises upfront duty payments but also provides more flexibility in managing global supply chains, helping businesses to optimise their cash flow and reduce overall costs.
