How it works
One shipment, from setup to a finished file
Every shipment in Aduo follows the same six steps. The checklist changes with the country and shipment type, but the way you work stays the same.
Step 1
Choose the country and shipment type
Start a shipment, pick its country and type, and choose its agent and vendors from your company’s list. Aduo loads that country’s current checklist, and the shipment keeps those rules until it closes.
- Import, export or transfer
- Agents and vendors from your own list, or added on the spot
Step 2
Answer the setup questions
A few questions about the shipment, such as import type and mode of transport, decide which documents it needs. Aduo leaves out the ones that don’t apply.
- Import type
- Mode of transport
Step 3
Upload documents and capture key data
Work through the checklist one step at a time, starting with the commercial invoice and the transport document. Each step captures the data customs will look at.
- Bill of lading, air waybill or road consignment note
- Invoice value, weight, pieces and AWB or BOL number
Step 4
Check totals and close the gaps
Aduo checks the documents against each other and flags anything an auditor would question. The missing-documents report shows every gap across your open shipments.
- Mismatches flagged as data comes in
- Every gap in one report
Step 5
Track the declaration and the deadline
Record the approved import declaration and its customs release (levante). For temporary imports, Aduo tracks what’s still left to export and alerts your team as the export-or-extend date gets closer.
- One customs release per declaration
- Escalating alerts before every deadline
Step 6
Download the shipment file
One click merges a cover page and every document into a single PDF. The audit trail can go with it, showing who did what and when.
- Cover page plus every document
- Audit log can be exported or included
