Kewill Announces Release 1.1 of Kewill ISF

27 May 2009

Features Include EDI and “Hands-Free” To Speed 10+2 Processing

May 27, 2009 - Chelmsford, MA. - Kewill (LSE: KWL), a leading provider of solutions that simplify global trade and logistics, today announced the latest release of Kewill ISF, the solution of choice for Customs Brokers who are designated as the ISF (Importer Security Filing) agent for the ISF Importer.  This latest release allows the ISF Agent to receive an EDI/XML message (e.g., a Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Purchase Order or ISF Instructions), and use that data to create and send the ISF to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). 

Furthermore, the solution includes the unique ability to create “hands-free” ISFs, where a combination of data in the EDI/XML message, and business rules can be used to automatically create, validate and send the ISF to CBP.  This will dramatically improve productivity and streamline the ISF process to completion – virtually eliminating a “paper chase” to retrieve data.  Kewill also offers a solution that provides similar functionality for the preparation of Customs Entries

“This release focuses on our drive to help our customers deliver more comprehensive solutions to their customers.  ISFs, that may have taken minutes to produce, can now be prepared in seconds.  Kewill’s customers will be able to see productivity improvements of as much as 90%, as a result of using the data from the EDI message to automatically produce the ISF,” said Alan Rosenblatt, product manager for Kewill ISF.
