Taking the complexity out of logistics Retailers and manufacturers want greater control


of their end-to-end freight cycle, in response to demanding customers and growing competition. They are seeking solutions that can better manage and streamline processes as well as cut costs. In response to this, Kewill’s offerings, which


include Kewill Forwarding for air, sea and road – Kewill CustomsXchange for customs compliance - Kewill Logistics for warehouse management and transport management, can be used individually or in combination to ease the process from the manufacturer or retailer, to the customer. Despite the advances in technology, many


companies continue to rely on manpower to re-key information to process each shipment. By using Kewill’s automated systems that integrate with trading partners, carriers, agents and customs brokers, information can be automatically updated across the business and passed on to the next party, saving time, avoiding errors, enabling full visibility and allowing customers to check the status of their goods at any time. Kewill Forwarding offers increased efficiency


for global freight processing and better financial visibility throughout the supply chain. It supplies the documentation required for each stage of the forwarding process, which helps to ensure that all necessary declarations are made, on time. A fully configurable reporting and query dashboard complements the solution,


throughout the entire


process. The Rate Management Module, stores the different


buying rates that have been agreed with all carriers, and the selling rates agreed with customers, as well as allowing for Surcharges, Local Services and Arbitrary Charges. The system uses the stored mix of rates to automatically calculate specific costs and charges associated with cargo shipments, giving an upfront indication of profitability and the basis for invoicing. Kewill’s CustomsXchange is a European electronic


customs solution that enables multi-national customs compliance via a central gateway, acting as a single point of connectivity. Kewill CustomsXchange transfers data from your own operational systems and seamlessly maps it to the requirements of each local customs authority, accurately filing and recording the necessary returns and notifications. Kewill has extensive experience of customs


legislations across Asia, Europe and the US with 15 registered customs brokers working as domain experts, with background experience in the freight forwarding industry. Kewill consultants have a deep understanding of the processes from a real life point of view, understanding not only the system, but how it can be used for the individual company, across multiple countries, resulting in enormous benefits for the customer. Another significant differentiator for Kewill is


the proven scalability and performance of Kewill Forwarding, whether implementing from a few hundred users to a global system with thousands of users for a tier 1 forwarder. Working closely with IBM, Kewill has been able to scale their system and prove its performance for up to 10,000 concurrent users. Established in 1972, Kewill has over 7,000


customers worldwide, supporting over 40,000 operational users around the world. Kewill has offices in the UK, Europe, Asia and North America with over 600 staff, enabling us to support our clients businesses globally.

MultiFreight


MultiFreight is a business management system designed specifically for freight forwarders and shipping companies. The core MultiFreight system incorporates facilities that allow you to manage both: • The key business functions (such as sales, finance, customer and supplier communications, management reporting) and:


• The specialist requirements of your business, such as air, road and sea freight, transport, and liner and ships’ agency.


Depending on the requirements of your business, you can enhance the functionality of MultiFreight with one or more options. These provide the facilities for you to: • Handle Customs related transactions • Use the internet to communicate with customers and provide online tracking and data entry • Administer third party warehousing


Advantages of an integrated system The various functions within MultiFreight are closely


integrated to provide a complete, company-wide system. The main advantage of this level of integration is that data can be shared between different functions within an organisation, thus obviating the need to re-key data which reduces admin time and cost, and minimises errors. With an integrated system you can: • Give employees access to information outside their department


• Reduce the time it takes to find information • Make staff more efficient • Provide employees with all the tools they need to do their job


• Respond to customer queries instantly • Communicate effectively with people inside and outside your organisation. Having one system from one single supplier means


you do not have to deal with multiple suppliers. You will therefore be able to eliminate wasted time managing suppliers, and when you need support, you will know exactly who to contact. If your business demands that you extend the functionality of the core system, the optional functions also integrate with the main system. All the options work together and share data with the core system. Extending the power of MultiFreight In addition to the core MultiFreight system, there are a


number of options you can add to provide the enhanced level of support that your business needs. All the options integrate with MultiFreight. The options available to you are: MultiShed - for handling all types of Customs transactions. Few other systems integrate to quite the same
