EU-reka!

Technology that simplifies shipping to Europe

  • Save up to 20 minutes per order

  • Eliminate errors and minimise customs clearance problems

  • Increase your throughput - do more with less

Feeling overwhelmed by the new burden of shipping to Europe?

Due to Brexit, it’s estimated during 2021 that the number of commercial invoices produced in the UK will jump from 50 million to 300 million.

With each one taking 20 minutes on average to prepare (and with potentially many orders each and every day), the impact on your dispatch process and lead times is huge.

Using our multi-carrier shipping platform, myCCL, you are able to automate the generation of the commercial invoice and send the data directly to the carriers when making a booking.

Save time through automation

By integrating your ERP or order management systems with myCCL, you no longer need to re-enter the commercial invoice data, when booking a shipment.

Instead, the required information is imported along with the shipping data, to populate the fields and create the commercial invoice for the carrier.

This can save you an estimated 20 minutes per order.

Eliminate mistakes that could cost time and money

As the commercial invoice data is not being re-entered manually, this reduces the chance of errors.

If the descriptions of your goods, their country of origin, commodity codes, weights, etc are all correctly stored in your ERP system, then automation reduces the risk of shipments being stopped and delayed at border, if any of the information is incorrect.

myCCL also flags any missing data fields or where additional information is required, based on the specific carrier requirements.

The platform can even check contact numbers provided for the buyer match the expected country code, and prompt for additional contact details if necessary.

Ship more with less

Automating the process takes the responsibility of entering the commercial invoice data away from the warehouse floor. This frees people up to work on more productive tasks, such as picking and packing more orders.

By saving time per order, you increase your throughput, and during peak times, this may mean recruiting fewer temporary staff.

How does it work?

As long as you can export or expose the relevant data held in your ERP or order management systems, the multi-carrier shipping platform will have all the information that is required to produce the commercial invoice.

This then gets transmitted electronically to the carrier, at the time of making a booking, in order to return the shipping label.

myCCL can integrate directly with your existing business systems - simply provide us with a feed of your order data by file transfer or API. Struggling for resource? We can even help you with the data export through our added value services.

Automating label generation

Integrating with myCCL not only allows you to automate the commercial invoice, but also allows you to automate the label generation process for all orders, including UK ones.

There are three possible ways to do this and improve efficiency:

  • Using One Click Dispatch, you can speed up the labelling process by a factor of 10, allowing you to process and ship more orders.
  • Using a Pick From Label lets you set the pick order that works best for you, and the box can be labelled as it’s taken from stock
  • You can process and print labels in bulk – this makes it quicker and easier, if you are sending the same product to multiple delivery locations
