  • Simple screen layout
    All screen components are designed to follow business logic in the most natural way human interact with computers.
  • Optimised data entry screens
    Input fields are pre-sorted according to their usage. All screens and fields can be re-arranged on the fly to reflect individual customer needs.
  • Extensive data validation
    Input data is scanned for errors, preventing user submitting incorrect or incomplete transaction to customs.
  • Accurate and up-to-date status display
    All transactions are evaluated in the context of the data entered by the user and according to the latest information obtained from the customs database.
  • Quick and adjustable printing
    Any transaction can be converted to a paper document or its electronic image with a touch of a single key. User can choose from a number of pre-installed printing forms and create their own forms, with sophisticated layout.
  • Track and trace functionality
    Description of the status of the goods advised by customs is converted into a tracking event that is easy to understand by the user and compatible with the events exchanged with third parties.
  • Creating customised reports
    User can search, sort and convert customs transactions into a report in a convenient format such as PDF, HTML, XLS, XML, DSV.
