Customer Story - Corus International
Corus International, the global supply chain service business focused around steel, has implemented a solution from Kewill, a leading provider of global trade management solutions for the dynamic supply network. The solution manages the administration and compliance associated with moving goods across international borders, speeds up the processes involved in getting products to market and reduces costs.
Corus International will be using solutions from the Kewill Customs Exchange portfolio including the leading export documentation solution, Kewill SPEX, and its associated Customs reporting modules. This will ensure Corus acts in accordance with local export government shipping controls and addresses requirements for each market they are exporting to.
Corus chose Kewill because the solution offered a number of key business benefits including a reduction in the administration associated with completing documentation and a cut in costs associated with checking compliance against the fluid legal requirements of individual countries, which include the UK and UAE.
Graham Royle, Information Systems Manager for Corus International, said, “As a business, Corus International has extremely ambitious growth plans. An internal review concluded that a number of our legacy business systems had reached end-of-life and no longer fully supported the future requirements of the businesses. They had therefore become a barrier to achieving our strategic goals”.
"We needed a modern world class flexible export documentation system that would integrate with our new ERP system and allow us to leverage enterprise wide dynamic information for greater efficiency and competitive advantage. We also wanted to work with a partner with large systems deployment expertise, international reach and a comprehensive knowledge of complex trading applications”.
