Kewill Enables Nobel To Get Control Of Export Documents

Published 24th October 2007

Kewill Systems Plc (Sale, UK) 24th October 2007: Following the introduction of new regulations by Customs, Kewill is upgrading the SPEX automated export document production and management system for Nobel, a manufacturer of nitrocellulose, to reduce the time taken to process export documentation...

Nobel exports nitrocellulose all over the world and must comply with both standard and regional regulation for the export of hazardous chemicals and the new version of SPEX (8.4) is integrated with Nobel’s Sage ERP system. SPEX can automatically populate data on export documents as needed which results in a streamlined “hands free” document preparation process.

David Cunningham, Nobel IT said, “With the new Kewill system we expect to smooth the progress of data migration and improve the interface to our ERP systems. For our users, it will mean improved response times.”

Jacquie Boast, chief marketing officer for Kewill said, “Kewill’s expertise in global trade management supports companies like Nobel address the proliferation of customs requirements brought about by globalisation. A fully automated system is now the only sensible option for any company that exports goods. ”

In SPEX, data is entered only once, and documents can be previewed and edited directly (and saved as a TIF image) for specific requirements (i.e. Letter of Credit), without affecting the core database(s). SPEX can also prepare (in printed or electronic format) and electronically transmit Customs reporting for export shipments as required. A graphical user interface is available for exceptions management, such as rejections by Customs or verification of a restricted party.
