Our Approach
Creating Flexible Duty Management Solutions
The flexibility of our products means that every solution we create is unique as each one is tailor-made to our client’s requirements. This ability has served us well over the years and our consistent development of new ideas and initiatives enhances every new client system.
Our existing users also benefit from new designs or improvements which can often be incorporated into their existing systems. Our products are designed to facilitate inbound and outbound processes. They are stored in their own respective places and both have multiple outputs with the inbound driving receipts and the outbound controlling releases.
Our single transaction concept simplifies the procedures ensuring ease of use and clean data. We understand that control of your stock is of paramount importance. With this in mind, we have created a warehouse module that sits perfectly between our inbound and outbound elements, fed with their data.

Customs Regimes
Customs Warehouse / Bonded Warehouse
Our Bonded Warehouse software is designed to integrate with your existing business and operational processes. Commercial transactions are used to drive the creation of warehouse receipts and releases via a series of data interfaces, avoiding double data entry and minimising the risk of keying errors. Multiple control checks ensure data accuracy and a single combined process is used to create and write off stock.
Outward Processing Relief
OPR revolves around tracking your components out and finished items back in. Commercial data is interfaced for the export and Langdon’ receipt data is used to offset the imported finished item. BoMs, time expired exports and equivalent products are all handled automatically. As with Inward Processing, all statutory duty calculations and reports are included.
Inward Processing
IP is all about managing your components in and finished items out. Our system uses Langdon receipt data for the components and commercial data for the finished items. The Bill of Materials can be handled by the system or, alternatively, managed commercially prior to passing the relevant removal transactions. All duty calculations and reports are included.
Simplified Customs Declaration Process
Our web-based declaration solution is cost effective and customs compliant. Enabling you to submit supplementary declarations electronically to HMRC at the touch of a button. ‘Profiles’ can be created to define the key data reporting requirements for recurring business import/release transactions. The relevant fields are then pre-populated so only variable details require data entry.
Excise Movement and Control System
Langdon provides a fully integrated EMCS solution. Inbound EMCS movements are automatically assigned to the relevant Excise intake as part of the goods receipt process. Outbound movements use shipment data processed via the Warehouse module to populate the e-AD(electronic Administrative Document) details. The system supports the full suite of messages and movement types and provides effective management of e-ADs across all warehouse sites.
