Overview
EXIM is one of the most recognized names in the freight forwarding industry and has
had a strong presence in this sector for more than fifteen years. Its operations
encompass complete logistics planning and execution, freight forwarding, consolidation
and custom clearance.
It counts amongst its clients, renowned companies across all major industrial sectors
from engineering, chemicals, plastics and food products to handicrafts, electronics,
textiles and machinery-project cargo amongst others.
An ISO 9001:2000 certified company, EXIM is committed to constantly evolving its
operation to serve its customers better. To do so, it constantly embraces newer and
better technologies to improve its productivity and to maintain customer satisfaction as
it continues to expand its services all over the world.
The Problem
As EXIM expands its operations, it is constantly faced with the challenge of integrating
its new businesses and its overseas operations.
A crucial area where EXIM wanted to streamline was the financial aspect of all its
logistic operations. Owing to the magnitude of its operations it found that it sometimes
reported small errors in its operations which it wanted to avoid. In addition to this it
wanted to avoid incurring unbilled expenses.
It wanted to find a way to integrate the accounting aspect of its operations with all of
its operations. This way, instead of entering financial data for every transaction in its
freight forwarding and customs compliance sectors it would be able to control the
financial aspect of all its operations with one system.
Another pain area for EXIM was its difficulty in calculating customs duty amounts in line
with the changes in regulation made by the government.

Making the Decision to Implement Visual Accounts
When EXIM made a decision to streamline the financial aspect of its logistics operations,
the first name that came to its mind was Softlink. This was primarily because it had
already implemented Softlink’s customs compliance software product, Visual IMPEX
which had proven to be very beneficial to its operations.
In addition to this, EXIM wanted a product that would allow the easy flow of data from
Visual IMPEX so as to integrate the operations of the company across its diverse sectors.
Concrete Benefits that Visual Accounts Helped Deliver

• Tracking transactions right from quotations, advances, brokerage and
recoveries thus preventing revenue leakages from unbilled expenses.
• Reducing administrative overheads by enabling invoicing as well as service
tax management from a single software package.
• Providing greater control through the creation of various reports for:
o Unrecovered expenses
o Job wise/ party wise profitability
o Unbilled Job reports
o Employee wise accounting
• Integrating data with Visual IMPEX
• Providing timely customs regulation updates thus enabling EXIM to calculate
customs duty amounts according to the latest regulations
