“It gives us peace of mind knowing that as soon as a file loads in, the system’s going to do everything. We don’t need to worry anymore. It just works,”

“We can rely on the data completely. CAS enforces accuracy and gives us a clear, real-time picture of our customs operations,”

“With CAS, we can track everything from stock movements to declarations. That visibility helps us stay compliant and make faster decisions,”

“We used to find errors in up to 20% of our EIDR removals. Now there are hardly any. CAS runs smoothly and is almost zero-touch. Our statistics show our EIDR removals are 99.9 percent error-free with CAS,”

“CAS catches data gaps before submission. That saves time and prevents delays. Once you’ve got clean master data, it’s simple to run,”

“Our requirements change as the business moves. We need a system that adapts with us and lets us work the way we need to work,”

“Having everything in one place gives us confidence. We can see what’s happening, fix issues fast, and stay compliant,”

“Having Inward Processing in CAS is a big deal for us. Right now, it lives in messy spreadsheets and it takes a lot of time to administer. We’re not as on top of it as we should be. Once it sits in CAS, I can train the team and they can run it more efficiently,”

“We went live fast. It was hands-on, focused, and efficient. Me and C4T’s Steven Rutter got it over the line together. The extensive knowledge on both sides made it possible,”

“The people were a big part of it. The approach felt right. Good conversations, straight answers, and a way of working that matched how we operate,”

“The User Interface made a huge difference. With CAS, you look at it and you understand where things are. It’s intuitive. I could see myself training a team on it without needing a manual,”

“It’s a breath of fresh air. We click a button, our ERP system creates the ingest file, and we drag it in CAS. Booking in a container takes 20 to 30 seconds. Before, it could take up to 30 minutes. It’s so much easier to stay on top of things.”

“The migration to AES was incredibly smooth—we barely even noticed the change. C4T managed all the necessary adjustments, provided clear and timely communication, and closely monitored the process. After the go-live, we experienced no issues at all. I wish every migration and change process could be this seamless!”

“We have maintained our existing team after insourcing declarations. Working with brokers was time-intensive due to constant back-and-forth email communication and Excel file exchanges. With CAS, our process is automated, allowing us to focus on other customs-related tasks while maintaining the same team size. Although we brought the work in-house, automation has ensured that our workload has not increased.”

“With the long lead time to Brexit, we had the opportunity to explore multiple options. C4T’s solution had been on our radar for a while, and as a company, we are actively focusing on automation across all areas of the business. Beyond efficiency gains, choosing CAS was a cost-driven decision, as it reduced our cost per declaration by a factor of ten. Given our substantial export volumes, this cost-conscious decision was an obvious choice.”

“CAS offers us the possibility to work smoothly and to keep the declaration process going. Since the go-live, we have had no issues whatsoever. We were the first CAS customer to use the Excel upload functionality entirely, and get great support from the C4T team.”

“Looking for a way to get an overview of the integrality of our customs operations, we discovered that CAS does the work perfectly! Next to that, it gives clear indications and explanations of validation and customs errors if they occur during the declaration process which allows us to act upon them quickly.”

“With CAS, we’ve achieved remarkable savings of 25% to 30% in administrative costs alone by moving to software instead of relying on customs brokers.”

““If your organisation is mature enough, I strongly recommend automating and bringing your customs operations in-house. This approach provides the control, knowledge and insight into your business, to implement process improvements and realise significant cost savings.””

““CAS takes away the complexity. Once the setup is complete, the declaration process becomes straightforward and consistent. CAS notifies us of any customs errors or missing data, and we rarely log in to CAS. It’s an upfront investment that pays off very quickly.””

““At first, we were hesitant to adopt a software solution due to our limited customs knowledge and concerns about increased workload for our employees. However, after seeing the benefits of CAS, we were able to train our staff, and with CAS’ exception-management, there is no need for in-depth customs knowledge or extra staff. The software flags errors and you can easily correct them.””

“The communication about the migration projects was very well structured”

“We are very happy with the support we receive from C4T. Their expertise in the field is evident, and they respond quickly whenever an issue arises or when we need guidance. The technical knowledge within the C4T team is outstanding—they often only need a quick glance at a document or error to suggest an immediate solution. While we have built strong in-house expertise over the years, it’s invaluable to have a team of specialists available for support when needed. Kudos to the entire team!”

“Given the enormity of our export operations, the business case for investing in CAS was clear”

“By automating our processes with CAS, we were able to reduce our costs quite significantly”
