The Customs Shipping System
The Customs Shipping Package, which is part of the TurboBroker Customs Product Suite, includes several features relevant to Shipping Agents. This software is designed to enable Shipping Agents to efficiently and effectively prepare their shipping documentation for submission to the Local Revenue Authority. Just like the Brokerage Package, the Software allows individuals and organizations to introduce efficiency and scale into the management of their shipping department and thereby greatly reducing time and cost of operation.
The features of the Customs Shipping 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 Shipping Package are described below:
SIMPLICITY AND EASE IN PREPARING MANIFEST AND BILL OF LADING
Like the Customs Brokerage Package, the Customs Shipping Package provides a level of simplicity and ease of use in preparing Manifest and Bill of Lading 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. The completed Manifest and Bill of Lading can be printed directly from the Customs Shipping Package, thus eliminating the need for pre-printed Forms. This feature results in significant time and cost savings. In addition since all Manifests and Bill of Ladings 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 Shipping Package is also 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 Customs Shipping Package 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.
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 Shipping offers users the ability to save their Manifest/Bill of Lading document information in an electronic file format which can then be imported into a TurboBroker Customs Shipping 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.
COMPATILITY WITH LOCAL REVENUE AUTHORITY
At SoftLogic Systems we work closely with Local Revenue Authorities to ensure that the TurboBroker Customs Shipping 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.
REPORTING AND ANALYSIS
With over ten (10) Reports and several Analysis Charts, TurboBroker Customs Shipping 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 Shipping Department.
ELECTRONIC FILE TRANSFERS
In this new era of communication, the need to send documents in specified electronic format(s) is slowly becoming the norm. This is also true for Shipping Agents doing business with Local Revenue Authorities. As such TurboBroker Customs Shipping 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 Manifests and Bills of Lading.
COMPREHENSIVE DATABASE MAINTENANCE
Data Integrity and accessibility is very import in today's fast-paced business environment. As a result we have included a comprehensive Database Maintenance Utility within the TurboBroker Customs Shipping Package. Users can perform Archives, Backups, Re-Index Databases, Pack Databases and many more. This feature is essential for day maintaining data integrity and for enhancing disaster recovery plans.
