Vision Bond
Doddington, March, Cambridgeshire, UK
What it is
Vision Bond is Windows software for bonded warehouses that hold goods under suspended excise or customs duty and report to HMRC. It can run inside Vision Warehousing or work independently while linking with an ERP, warehouse management system, or in-house system. The software automates HMRC calculations and reporting through EDI, including electronic CFSP customs duty payments, EMCS underbond movements, and ATWD warrant submissions. Daily functions include excise declarations, month-end returns, stock reconciliation, EMCS declarations, and C88 export transmissions. Users can request real-time reports, while cash-deferment controls cover duty demands, direct-debit scheduling, credit limits, and order authorization. Vision Bond exchanges transaction data between WMS and EMCS and links with JD Edward, SAP, Oracle, Sage, and Navision. The maker describes it as HMRC-approved, with online audit records designed for up to 20 years. Pricing is available on request.
