Entry Acceleration - Simply, the fastest clearance possible – Period!

Five key elements of Kewill Customs Entry Acceleration include Hands Free, Workflow, System Defaults, Classification Assistance and Direct to Invoice.

Hands Free - The Kewill Customs Hands Free processing module provides the infrastructure tools needed to maximize control of the import process by optimizing electronic data feeds from Importers or Shippers.  New shipment files are created automatically within Kewill Customs, instantly reducing (and potentially eliminating) manual Entry processing and errors - yielding productivity increases of 50% or more - while delivering instant visibility of new shipments, managing exceptions, streamlining your business operations and expediting Customs clearance.

Workflow - The Workflow Management Dashboard enhances, empowers and increases the efficiency of your business operations with real-time monitoring of all shipments in process by providing real-time visibility to the varied and complex data within Kewill Customs.  You can more effectively monitor the status of work in process and reallocate the workload as necessary, to improve overall operational performance, ensure workflow and service levels are met, and customer satisfaction is secured.

System Defaults - Information is keyed into Kewill Customs once and it is defaulted throughout the system. The system allows you to build extensive default information into user defined libraries, as well as create templates individually or from an existing entry, reducing data entry requirements and errors while dramatically improving user productivity.  To process a shipment, a user simply decides which functions to complete and is only prompted through the necessary screens. All data entry is validated at the end of each screen so users can make the necessary corrections before advancing to the next screen.

Classification Assistance - The Classification Assistance Tool maintains a database of part numbers cross referenced to classification information for specific customers. This feature dramatically increases compliance and reduces the time required to process a shipment by entering a part number at the line item level and having the system default the Harmonized Tariff number and all other related information, including Participating Government Agencies, for the line level detail.

Direct to Billing - Seamless integration and free data flow between the Customs and Accounting modules enables direct to invoice functionality with provides timely financial information and reports to operations and accounting personnel.  Charge data is entered as shipments are processed then uploaded into the accounting modules to ensure that all revenues and costs are tracked and billed.  As shipments are processed, duties, fees, freight amounts, and other charges are calculated by the system to automatically generate billing detail.
