How much time does your team spend entering the same customs data?

With Smart Templating in CNS CDMS, approved declaration layouts and key data can be saved and reused across shipments, helping to reduce manual input, improve consistency and minimise the risk of errors.

Designed for busy customs teams, Smart Templating enables users to share templates across teams, maintain version control and apply templates throughout the declaration workflow, turning tasks that once took minutes into seconds.

Spend less time re-entering data and more time focusing on what matters. Contact the CNS team to learn how Smart Templating can help streamline your customs processes.

A huge thank you to everyone who booked a meeting with the CNS team during our recent Hampshire Roadshow.

It was a fantastic opportunity to meet customers face-to-face, discuss the challenges facing customs operations and demonstrate how the CNS Customs Declaration Management System (CDMS) continues to evolve to support the logistics and freight community.

Across the three days, we showcased how businesses are reducing manual data entry, improving reporting visibility and gaining greater operational insight through features such as Smart Templating, Customised Reporting and our latest Operational Dashboards.

We also had some great conversations about streamlining customs processes, improving data accuracy and helping teams work more efficiently.

Missed the Roadshow? You can still see the latest CNS developments in action. Contact our team today to arrange an online demo at a time that suits you.

CNS was proud to exhibit at this year's BIFA National Conference, joining freight forwarding, logistics and supply chain professionals from across the UK for a day of discussions and networking.

The event provided an excellent opportunity for the CNS team to engage with industry peers, meet existing customers and discuss the latest developments shaping international trade and customs technology. Throughout the conference, visitors to the CNS stand explored how technology continues to support greater efficiency, visibility and compliance across the supply chain. These face-to-face opportunities continue to play a valuable role in ensuring CNS remains at the forefront of industry developments and customer needs.

CNS would like to thank everyone who visited the stand and took the time to speak with the team.

We look forward to continuing those conversations and supporting the industry with innovative customs and cargo community solutions in the months ahead.
