Werner Global Logistics Uses Descartes' OneView Solution to Streamline US Customs House Brokerage Operations
September 05 2013 - 6:45AM
Descartes Systems Group (TSX:DSG) (Nasdaq:DSGX), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that Werner Global Logistics U.S., LLC. (WGL), a subsidiary of
Werner Enterprises, is using the Descartes OneView Customs House
Broker solution to run its U.S. customs house brokerage operations.
The solution helps WGL streamline its customs house brokerage
operations by using a single platform for customs brokerage
services along with Advanced Manifest (AMS) and Importer Security
Filing (ISF) filing services.
"To offer the high level of service that we provide to our
customers and support the growth of our business, we needed a
robust, scalable customs house brokerage solution that could be
deployed quickly and integrate within Werner's global TMS
platform," said Dave Brenneman, Senior Director of Operations at
WGL. "Descartes' team of customs experts were able to integrate the
new system, provide training and help make us more productive and
efficient within the first month."
Descartes' OneView Customs House Broker (CHB) solution is an
enterprise-class application with end-to-end capabilities to manage
U.S. brokerage requirements, from entry preparation and filing
through to accounting. It was developed with advanced Message Queue
(MQ) capabilities and a direct link to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection so users can easily receive responses and customs status
messages to manage by exception.
The solution is template-driven to facilitate ease-of-use and
leverage existing data. Information entered into Descartes'
security filing systems such as ISF and AMS also populate brokerage
transactions in Descartes' OneView CHB solution to help improve
productivity and eliminate additional data entry. By implementing
Descartes OneView, customers like Werner can share the data common
to customs operations and security filings to improve operational
efficiency and reduce submission errors.
"We're thrilled to extend our relationship with WGL and help
them to provide the best service possible to their customers," said
Scott Sangster, Vice President Global Logistics Network at
Descartes. "We believe that leading logistics companies, such as
Werner Global Logistics U.S. LLC., want not only solutions with
world-class capabilities, but also the experienced resources to
help them accelerate time-to-value and improve operational
efficiency."
