The Customs Brokerage System
The Customs Brokerage Package, which is part of the TurboBroker Customs Product Suite, includes several features and functionalities relevant to Customs Brokers and Importers/Exporters. This software is essential for individuals and organizations with the desire to introduce speed and efficiency into their day-to-day operations. The Customs Brokerage Software is more than a customs documentation system; in fact it is a full-featured Customs Brokerage System which allow individuals and organizations to introduce efficiency and scale into the management of their customs departments and thereby greatly reducing time and cost of operation.
The features of the Customs Brokerage Package are designed to meet the needs of our customers and to enhance their experience as users. Some of the key features of the Customs Brokerage Package are described below:
SIMPLICITY AND EASE IN PREPARING CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS
The TurboBroker Customs Brokerage Package provides a level of simplicity and ease of use in preparing Customs Declarations that is not seen in other applications. The user-friendly interfaces are intuitive and provide a clear approach to customs document processing. The software makes use of all the available standard and company-specific control files to produce quick and reliable end results. In most cases, the completed Customs Declaration can be printed directly from the Customs Brokerage Package, thus eliminating the need for pre-printed Customs Declaration Forms. This feature results in significant time and cost savings. In addition since all Customs Declarations are saved by the application, editing and re-printing can be done seamlessly.
REDUCTION IN DATA INPUT EFFORT
At the heart of the TurboBroker Customs Brokerage Package is a well designed set of Control Files which contains both standard codes and company-specific codes. Once these codes are initially populated, very few changes are subsequently required. It is this information that TurboBroker Customs utilizes to reduce data input by users. In other-words codes already available to the software can be reused with the click of the mouse and without limit.
COMPREHENSIVE KNOWLEDGE BASE
In an effort to continually and automatically tailor the TurboBroker Customs Information Base to the specific needs of each company, we have implemented a built-in Knowledge Base functionality. This comprehensive Knowledge Base seamlessly enhances the descriptions in the Common External Tariff Database (CET) by automatically adding keywords that are not found in the CET. In addition the customer's Item Catalogue Information is automatically updated with current information. This approach results in accurate and fast retrieval of data during document processing.
PORTABILITY ADVANTAGE
In today's fast-paced world, the ability to work while you are away from the office or when at home is becoming more of the norm. With this reality in mind, TurboBroker Customs Brokerage offers users the ability to save their Customs Declarations and other document information in an electronic file format which can then be imported into a TurboBroker Customs Brokerage System at another location. This gives users the flexibility to continue working away from the office and thereby allowing for efficient use of their time.
POWERFUL REPORTING AND ANALYSIS
With over twenty-five (25) Reports and several Analysis Charts, TurboBroker Customs Brokerage's Reporting and Analysis functionality is an essential management tool. It provides Managers with several standard and non-standard reports which greatly enhance the day-to-day tasks involved in managing a Customs Department.
CENTRALIZED CUSTOMER TRACKING

With TurboBroker Customs Brokerage Package, Brokers can seamlessly track all the services they provide to their Client on a document by document basis. This information can then be used to enhance Customer Management and to track payments and receipts. In addition Customer Invoices and Receipts can be printed directly from the application.
COMPATILITY WITH LOCAL REVENUE AUTHORITY
At SoftLogic Systems we work closely with Local Revenue Authorities to ensure that the TurboBroker Customs Software meets the requirements of our users. In addition to the physical documentation requirements, we also ensure that all specifications for electronic transfers to and from the Customs Department are properly implemented.
ELECTRONIC FILE TRANSFERS

This is also true for Brokers, Importers and Exporters doing business with Local Revenue Authorities. As such TurboBroker Customs Brokerage has the ability to create electronic files based on file format(s) specified by Local Revenue Authorities and with the touch of a button, transfer those files to the appropriate Customs Authority via email, ftp or some other method. This is a powerful feature which greatly reduces time and effort in the overall processing of Declarations.
