movement of goods and control costs at every stage, and providing easy access via a collaborative web portal, whilst handling multiple languages and currencies. Our Contract & Rate Management module stores carrier buying rates and


customer selling rates, allowing for surcharges, local services and arbitrary charges, and mixes them to automatically calculate specific costs and charges associated with cargo shipments, giving an upfront indication of profitability and the basis for invoicing. And our comprehensive Job Costing and Profit Sharing module enables costs to be attributed accurately down to the most granular level, and pass through costs applied. Kewill’s forwarding solutions also enable you to share information with


carriers, customers and third parties, such as shipping portals and customs authorities via our multi-country customs solution CustomsXchange.


Langdon Systems Ltd


Customs and Excise duty compliance with business benefits Langdon’s software manages all


your Customs and Excise statutory declarations and reporting to HM Revenue and Customs.


Our fully


featured, integrated Customs and Excise solution is unique to the industry. We combine simplified Custom Reporting (CFSP) with the full range of Excise “W” series returns and embed EMCS reporting to offer the complete package. Our flexible, any data format, any data type interfaces ensure we can


always accommodate you or your client’s data. Our system’s validations and process points dovetail with your operational procedures. Your “Goods in” confirms our goods in (with actual quantities), your “Pick confirm” results in our stock release, your “End of day” cut off results in an end of day in the Langdon system. System control is by exception reporting, something fails - a process or data-


the appropriate staff are notified when the exception report is emailed to them. When a key stage or validations is complete data can be passed back to the host system giving complete commercial visibility of all stages, inbound and out. Our rigorous and comprehensive approach to our Customs and Excise


solution ensures complete compliance and operational peace of mind. Our flexible Excise soſtware is ideal for third party logistics providers


(3PLs) wishing to offer Customs and excise duty suspension, statutory reports (W1, W1A, W5D) and full EMCS handling to their clients. Our solution handles multiple contracts and different financial (and guarantee) relationships. For operational ease we offer drill-downs to bottle picks, full cases, part


cases, breakers, vats and fully support unique rotation numbers and duty stamps. Quality checks and reporting includes daily stock reconciliation, error reporting and outbound release messages (ie – if the Langdon electronic message to HMRC/CHIEF is not accepted, your excise stock cannot be released from the warehouse until the error is corrected and message accepted by HMRC). It can handle multiple stock status’ – Customs bonded stock, and excise-only and a combination of the two. The end result gives compliance as well as postponing a considerable


proportion (typically up to 80%) of cash flow tied up in excise duty, VAT and import duty. Fully integrated with our Customs Warehouse, it handles import duty as well as excise duty; suspending both as well as the VAT – adding up to a nice boost in cash flow. Our fully integrated Customs and Excise duty management solutions


are scalable to any volume over multiple contracts and sites. Logistics giants in the UK and Europe trust us to keep their operations visible and compliant, while passing on Langdon’s added-value (Customs benefits to business) as cost-savings and cash flow boosts to their customers.


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: • Key business functions (such as sales, finance, customer and supplier communications, management reporting) and:


0044 (0)1473 212421 www.multifreight.com


enquiries@ langdonsystems.com


01942 202202 www.langdonsystems.com


• 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 to: handle Customs related transactions; use the internet to communicate with customers and provide online tracking and data entry; administer third party warehousing; and exchange data electronically (EDI) 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; and 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. 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 degree, and this level of integration speeds up transaction time, minimises errors and reduces processing costs. MultiFreight and MultiShed together eliminate the need for any other forwarding software. MultiTrack - this is a service provided by SCS that allows you to use the


internet to communicate with your customers. Companies that subscribe to this service appear as professional, modern and efficient to their customers, and no matter how large or small can provide an internet-based service similar to that offered by large, multi-national operators. MultiStock - administers third-party warehousing. MultiChain - allows you to monitor and manage large, complex supply


chain orders. MultiDox - electronic document exchange and storage. With the MultiFreight family of products you can offer your customers a


complete logistics service - managing purchase orders, shipping, customs clearance and warehousing.
