How AI is used

CAT360 is an analytics platform designed to process customs declaration data from HMRC. By analyzing CDS, MSS, and TRE datasets, the tool helps businesses identify errors in commodity codes or overpaid duties that may be reclaimable.

The software supports companies in logistics, manufacturing, and ecommerce, as well as freight forwarders and accountancies. It is intended for users in finance, customs, and supply chain roles who need a centralized view of their trade data.

Capabilities include anomaly detection for freight and currency, as well as benchmarking the performance of third-party declarants. It supports the maintenance of a digital audit trail designed to align with HMRC standards.

Buyers should confirm which pricing tier matches their total duty under management and determine if they require the consultant-led reporting available in higher-priced plans.
