///FREIGHT SOFTWARE GUIDE Impatex Freight Soſtware Ltd


Impatex is the leading supplier of Customs software in the UK, with most of the major ‘Corporate’ forwarders, shipping lines, and hundreds of SMEs, using its software. This is not surprising, as Impatex was the first company to develop a PC-based Customs software package when PCs first came onto the market in 1981. Impatex later pioneered ‘Intelligent’ DTI for FCP80 (now MCP) in Felixstowe in 1984, followed by interfaces to CNS, Dover (now Pentant) and ACP90, which was replaced by CCS-UK. In 2001, Impatex launched its Customs Manager (CM) software, which was the first Customs software to combine frontier Customs for all DTI communities with Inland Customs for Duty Management and Customs Processing with Economic Impact (CPEI). With its new Integrated Customs for Europe (ICE) software, which


+44 (0) 845-459-0416 www.impatex.com


is progressively replacing CM, Impatex will be able to provide its major ‘Corporate’ customers with a multi-country and multi-lingual pan-European Customs system which will not only replace CM in the UK, but also Customs packages in other European countries, thereby enabling users to provide pan-European Customs reporting for their clients using a single, standardised system whilst linking to their in-house or packaged operational software via a simple Generic Interface (GI). ICE is currently available for frontier Imports, Exports, ERTS, NCTS, EMCS and ICS linking to CM for Duty Management and CPEI, which will later be replaced by functions in ICE. For independent forwarders looking for a combined multi-modal freight


management, Customs, warehousing and CRM solution with Track & Trace, Impatex offers NetFreight, which is unique in being web-based and yet able to run on the customer’s own, or third party server, which can be accessed anytime, from anywhere, by any web-enabled device including the iPad and iPhone. Because NetFreight uses an SQL database and can easily be made multi-lingual, it can be used by global freight companies looking for a modern, web-based software solution which will run on their own, or hosted third-party servers. NetFreight is currently being used by over a hundred companies throughout the world, and although it is an off-the-shelf package, it works more like a bespoke system as it is highly-customisable to the individual requirements of the user, and includes user-definable documents, reports, milestones, job list views and many other user-definable functions. Impatex provides 24/7/365 support for its Customs software (CM and ICE)


and NetFreight. JDA
