SDV have been a user of our Customs software for some 20 years, first as SCAC, and later as SDV. SCAC used our original COBOL software in the early 90's before upgrading to MCS in the late 90's.
Although SDV used our MCS software for ocean imports, they also used it for airfreight imports at their Manchester office, whilst using ASM at their other airfreight offices, and Grosvenor's Ricardo software for their duty management. Whilst all the systems worked well individually, there was clearly scope for rationalisation, so SDV looked to standardise all their Customs applications on a centralised Terminal Server system at their head office in Liverpool. Firstly, SDV implemented Visual Exports for the New Export System (NES) on the Terminal Server for all offices. This was followed by migrating all the ocean freight offices to Visual Broker for imports, and then all the airfreight offices for imports and ERTS. Next, Ricardo was replaced with Visual CFSP and Visual Warehousing, which has been an area of expansion for SDV, who have taken on a number of major new clients without additional cost. Lastly, SDV implemented NCTS which is included within Visual NES for 'Departures' and Visual Broker for 'Arrivals' and Transhipments, using the existing EDCS Interface used also for CFSP. From a collection of disparate local systems running different applications, SDV now have an integrated Customs Management system running all applications centrally for all offices, which has improved staff efficiency whilst reducing costs. |
