CEVA Logistics has announced its successful completion of a new Customs brokerage system across its US operation.

As one of the world's largest supply chain management companies, it's not surprising that CEVA initiated the move to introduce state-of-the-art systems in this sector.

The company did this following a mandate from US Customs, which states that all forwarders must file their entries using the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) by the end of February 2016. When this has been done, ACE will become the primary system through which forwarders and the further trade community must report all imports and exports.

CEVA's vice-president of Customs Brokerage & Import Services, Jane Pederson Sorensen, said: "Our implementation with CargoWise One, offering full ACE functionality, is a major step forward for our business."

It's hoped that this new cloud-based system, which will link to CEVA's internal software, will provide a more user-friendly and modern platform for those who use it.

The company is also planning to launch a new customer portal, which will allow transporters to improve how they manage their business with CEVA.
