How it works

1. Connect

Integrate your WMS/ERP with DMS Enterprise via the Download Manager to send database, receipt and warehouse downloads.

2. Set-up

Load companies, authorisations, products, tariff and HMRC rates so licence/waiver codes auto-apply to declarations.

3. Receive

Enter receipts (header/invoice/line) by interface or manual input; validations ensure clean data before creating stock.

4. Manage

Run Consignment (rotation numbers with First In/First Out or Unit Duty Picking) or Closing Stock (daily reconciliation with auto-release to home use when required).

5. Declare

Generate CDS supplementary declarations for releases to free circulation, IP and other allowable regimes.

6. Report

Back up and archive data and produce PDF/CSV/flat-file reports for a full audit trail and management control.

7. Enable IOSS (optional)

Connect via the Xendo Shopify app to validate and collect IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) charges post-checkout with no fixed contract.

Seamless integration with the systems you already use

DMS Enterprise connects directly to leading ERP, WMS and finance platforms like Blue Yonder Dispatcher, Manhattan, Big Digit, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and NetSuite, ensuring smooth data flow and total visibility from stock to submission.
