CAS Insights

Envision a Customs Control Tower

Analyse your entire customs operations and identify savings potentials with CAS Insights. Serving as a customs control tower, Insights gathers customs data into at-a-glance dashboards and reports, 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 analyse trends and insights into your customs operations.

The Insights module in CAS, our customs software, allows you to analyse the totality of your customs operations. As it’s fully integrated with the CAS declarations and Special Procedures modules, it automatically consolidates data of your self-filed declarations and Special Procedures. Moreover, you can upload declarations filed by your customs brokers in countries that are not supported by CAS yet. This provides a worldwide view on your customs business.

CAS Insights provides you with the data you need to give insights back to the organisation and support organisational growth. Break free from Excel spreadsheets and email notifications. Break into your data with CAS Insights.

Effortless and hassle-free

Insights works out-of-the-box with CAS. No need for a dedicated analytics product, no need for manual export and import data. The necessary data is pulled from your CAS declarations and Special Procedures. It offers a centralised platform for company-wide customs data, including data provided by your customs brokers or your worldwide subsidiaries. 

If your organisation is mature enough, I strongly recommend automating and bringing your customs operations in-house. This approach provides the control, knowledge and insight into your business, to implement process improvements and realise significant cost savings.

Dashboards

Pre-delivered dashboards and reports provide insights into the amount and types of declaration filings and duty payments. You can easily analyse the reasons for manual work your team had to do as well as the duties you had to pay. This helps you reduce manual work in your customs processes and save on customs duties going forward.

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.
