This union makes it possible for Descartes users to incorporate Sedna’s AI‑powered document automation capabilities, transforming incoming emails, invoices, packing lists, and other trade paperwork into ready‑to‑file customs declarations.
What this means in practice
- Rapid declaration creation: Sedna’s AI populates both import and export CDS declarations directly from documents.
- Multi-format compatibility: It can extract data from over 50 formats — including PDF, Excel, CSV, API feeds and emails.
- Smarter classifications: Customs and product codes are identified and applied automatically to ensure compliance.
- High-volume handling: Thousands of declarations can be processed within seconds, greatly reducing turnaround time and errors.
- GVMS support: It also generates Goods Movement Records for smoother road‑freight operations
Real‑world results
