Medite SmartPly, a producer of sustainable MDF and OSB panels, has announced its collaboration with Customs Support Group (CSG), in order to boost its supply chain operations.
CSG has utilised its AI capabilities to create an interface which integrates Medite SmartPly’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with its customs system. This blend of automation and human oversight extracts daily shipping data from logistics providers and inputs it into the ERP system, before CSG’s Customs EDI system creates, checks and validates declarations before submission.
The system also facilitates automated communication with hauliers, allowing Medite SmartPly to maintain its high-speed supply chain.
Jerry Anglim, supply chain business development director at Medite SmartPly, said: “Partnering with CSG allows us to deliver products seamlessly and confidently, knowing every customs procedure is handled professionally.
“Medite SmartPly’s logistics model is built on precision, with tight schedules for truck arrivals around port access windows. Any delay in customs clearance presents a significant risk to our operation. The rapid turnaround offered by CSG has become a cornerstone of Medite SmartPly’s decision to partner with them.”
