Authorised warehousekeeper · wines and spirits

Customs in the WMS, not in a spreadsheet

Material accounting, e-ADs, simplified accompanying documents, monthly excise returns. What very few publishers cover, because it is a trade of its own.

What brings you here

You keep your material accounting in a spreadsheet or a separate system, alongside your WMS, because your WMS cannot keep it. Every monthly return means a manual reconciliation. An inspection costs you days of preparation. And the day you change software, you are told that customs is bespoke work.

What we answer

01

Material accounting kept by the stock

Stock movements feed the material accounting instead of being copied alongside it. What comes in and what goes out is the same data, so the two cannot drift apart.

02

e-ADs through the Gamma interface

Documents are issued through the Gamma© interface, from the system where you already handle the dispatch. You do not re-key into a second application.

03

The monthly return without reconciliation

The monthly excise return is built from the movements already recorded. You check instead of reconstructing.

04

This is not bespoke development

It is in TALK, running in production at customers who have been storing wines and spirits for decades. You are not buying a promise to be built after signing.

02

In detail

Why so few publishers do it

Because it is not an option you add to an existing WMS.

Material accounting is not a report to print at month end: it is a consequence of the way movements are recorded. A WMS that did not plan for it from the start cannot catch up without reworking its data model.

That is why the usual answer is “we can develop that”, and why the development in question never quite arrives.

What it changes day to day

You stop keeping two truths in parallel — the stock one and the customs one — and hoping they do not drift apart.

An inspection is prepared from what is already recorded, not from a spreadsheet that first has to be reconciled with the WMS.

The rest of the WMS does not disappear

Customs authorisation is one more constraint, not your only trade. You also run receiving, picking, dispatch, and customers who each have their own rules.

All of it is in the same system: see TALK Logistique.

Let’s talk to someone who knows the subject
