What our customers say

HONDA2

When Honda leadership decided on one side to expand its trade flows and on the other side to optimise administration and customs duties by insourcing, it went for CAS in the UK. This allowed Honda not only to achieve their goals, but also to execute faster without expanding the internal team.

With CAS, Isuzu was able to transform the time-critical customs declaration processes of its Europe Distribution Center from a costly outsourced effort into an internally managed, seamless flow that accelerates the process and gives them full visibility.

CAS has already generated significant savings in terms of administration and customs duties. We now want to expand this to trade flows outside the UK. Thanks to the agility of CAS, this can happen quickly.

Overcoming the challenges

Fully automated and insourced declaration process

CAS, a global trade management solution hosted on Microsoft Azure, breaks down every single car produced into its thousands of individual components, linking each part with the corresponding import declarations and calculating the total duties based on the country of origin and final destination. This entire process is performed in real-time, without any need for manual intervention, ensuring that the car manufacturing plant can operate at maximum efficiency.

By automating this intricate process, CAS not only streamlines the flow of operations but also significantly reduces administrative costs associated with managing trade compliance. Additionally, the solution helps businesses maintain optimal cash flow, as it minimises delays caused by customs processing and ensures that duties are accurately calculated and paid on time, avoiding potential penalties or disruptions. In the automotive industry, where Just-in-Time (JIT) production is critical, any delay in customs clearance or duty calculations can halt the entire production line, leading to costly downtime. The efficiency gained through this digital approach allows companies to focus resources on innovation and growth, rather than being weighed down by complex customs procedures, and ensures that production schedules are met without disruption.

The market demands for speed, performance and transparency

Staying on top of various customs formalities is time-consuming and complex. By using a system like CAS, automotive companies can now have one standardised declaration programme for all countries, simplifying cross-border transport. CAS is part of the bigger picture of next-gen digital apps with the goal of giving customers control, visibility, and analytics.

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

CAS not only automates the creation and submission of customs declarations, our one-of-a-kind single message, double filing feature handles all the declarations you need for a shipment in one go. With one single message, CAS simultaneously files an export declaration in the country of departure and an import declaration in the country of destination, combined with transit to ensure frictionless border crossing.
