The Problem

Why sales and customs feel like two worlds

Most teams paste the same data into three systems and hope nothing changes in transit.

  • Quotes are still built in spreadsheets and email
  • Invoicing and customs filing run in separate tools
  • Product and price data has to be entered multiple times
  • Sales, operations and customs spend hours aligning
  • Inquiries take days to turn into shipped orders
  • Errors in prices, products or customs data are common
  • ERP systems are too rigid or too expensive to extend

How it works

One product master, one workflow, no media breaks between sales and customs.

Single source of truth

Products and prices as master data

Maintain products, prices and customs attributes in one place. Updates flow into quotes, invoices and declarations automatically.

Automated quoting

Inquiry becomes a quote

An incoming inquiry, by email, form or API, is turned into a structured quote in seconds, with the right products, prices and incoterms.

Automated invoicing

Order becomes an invoice

When the order is confirmed, the matching invoice is generated automatically, same data, no copy-paste, no version drift.

End-to-end customs

Invoice becomes a declaration

The same invoice triggers the customs filing, export, import or transit, with classifications and origin already in place.

Connected operations

One workflow, no media breaks

Sales, operations and customs work on the same record. No more spreadsheet-to-email-to-ERP relay.

Context preserved

Communication kept in context

Customer and authority messages stay attached to the case, so anyone picking up the file knows exactly where things stand.

Process

How an order moves through the system

From inquiry to shipped goods, the same data, used three times.

Step 1

Inquiry to quote

Customer inquiry triggers a structured quote built from the product master, with correct prices and incoterms.

Step 2

Order to invoice

When the customer accepts, the system generates the matching invoice and reserves the documents needed for export.

Step 3

Invoice to declaration

The customs declaration is filed automatically, export, import or transit, based on the same invoice and product data.

Outcomes

What changes for your business

Time, cost and quality, the three things that change when sales and customs share one workflow.

70-90% less manual work

Quotes, invoices and declarations generated from the same data, not retyped three times.

From inquiry to dispatch in hours

Quotes in seconds, invoices on confirmation, customs filing right after, without waiting on people.

Lower operating cost

Less internal back-and-forth, fewer external service costs, fewer expensive errors to fix.

Higher process quality

Consistent data across sales and customs means fewer errors, better audits, and predictable outcomes.

Who it's for

Built for sales and customs teams sharing one product master

Especially relevant for businesses where sales and customs share the same product data, but not the same tools.

Industrial companies with import and export
SMEs without a heavy ERP system
Teams with high manual effort in sales and customs
Businesses that want to scale without scaling headcount
Manufacturing
E-commerce
Automotive suppliers
Mechanical engineering

FAQ

Sales and customs invoicing questions, answered

Do we need to replace our ERP system?

No. The system runs alongside your existing tools and connects to them via API or no-code connectors. Many customers use it specifically because they do not want a full ERP rollout.

How does this work with our existing customs broker?

We can either file declarations directly into your customs software, or hand a clean, structured file to your broker. The broker keeps doing what they do best, without the back-and-forth on data quality.

How long does a typical roll-out take?

Most customers go live with a first lane or product family within weeks, not months. We start narrow, prove the value, and then expand into more products, lanes and customer groups.

Where does the customs data come from in the quote stage?

Tariff codes, origin, dual-use attributes and other customs-relevant fields are part of the product master. Once a product is set up, every downstream document, quote, invoice, declaration, uses the same data.

From source data to an approved customs result

One controlled data flow from sales order to customs-ready invoice

Digicust connects commercial and customs requirements without replacing the accounting or ERP system that remains the system of record.

01

Inputs

Sales orders, customer and delivery data, product master data, prices, Incoterms, origin, tariff data and invoice requirements.

02

Automated workflow

Map the order, enrich customs fields, validate commercial and customs requirements and prepare the invoice and downstream declaration data.

03

Checks and sources

Product identity, value and currency, Incoterms, origin, tariff data, consignee details, totals and required invoice statements.

04

Outputs

A consistent commercial invoice, customs data record, validation findings and structured handoff to ERP and declaration workflows.

Automation and human control

Routine enrichment and checks can be automated. Commercial approval and material customs exceptions remain with the responsible teams.

Illustrative workflow

An export order lacks origin data for one item. The invoice draft is retained while the missing customs attribute is requested from master data.
