Derry Bros reports that supply chain delays due to incorrect customs documentation result in significant product loss and reduced profitability.

Their FulfilClear solution offers a fully automated customs management system aimed at minimizing manual intervention and ensuring compliance. Despite achieving a 99% compliance rate, Derry Bros stresses the importance of 24/7 support as customs functions often operate on a 9-5 basis, risking delays during out-of-hours arrivals.
