Data Capture & Processing for

Customs Management Systems

Logistics companies, freight forwarders and customs brokers often spend excessive time manually entering data from documents when creating customs declarations.

Challenge

Manual processing of customs declarations is time-consuming, costly, and highly error-prone.

Customs brokers, logistics providers, and product owners spend significant time reviewing and entering data from documents such as:
Commercial invoices
Packing lists
Manifests
Transport documents
This leads to repetitive manual data entry, high risk of errors and rejected declarations, delays in goods clearance, increased administrative costs, and limited scalability during peak volumes. As volumes grow, the operational bottleneck grows with them.

As volumes grow, the bottleneck grows with them.

What our solution does

Edentri automates data capture, validation, enrichment, and conversion directly into your Customs Management System. The platform:
reads and processes multiple documents simultaneously,
extracts and structures relevant declaration data, validates information against regulatory and business rules,
enriches and converts data into the correct CMS format, and delivers complete, ready-to-process customs declarations. 
We integrate seamlessly with existing CMS platforms using built-in connectors and standard protocols. Our current integrations include: EMMA Systems, Cargowise / Wisetech, Sequoia (CMS), PipeChain, Atlas / Zodiak, PIC-IT, Descartes, Maritech / Timpex.

The solution supports Import, Export, NCTS, and NVIT workflows.

Transforming 1.5 hours of manual processing for a 15-page declaration document into seconds of automated execution.

The Edentri Way

Why it matters?

Even minor errors can result in rejections, additional manual corrections, delays in goods movement, compliance risks, and reduced margins. At the same time, regulatory requirements and documentation standards are increasing. For high-volume operators, manual workflows are not scalable.

With Edentri, you can increase processing capacity without increasing headcount, significantly reduce error rates, strengthen compliance and data quality, and standardize declaration workflows across teams and regions. This creates a measurable competitive advantage in a market where operational efficiency directly impacts profitability.
“For some of our more complex customers, declarations include multiple invoice pages and extensive data input. A fully manual process would typically take between one and three hours to complete. With Edentri, we’ve reduced processing time to approximately 20 minutes from start to finish – representing close to a 90% reduction in handling time. The efficiency gains are significant and allow our team to manage higher volumes with greater accuracy and consistency.”
