Most declaration errors are data problems in disguise. The value of TSS software depends on whether it can reach the data you already hold.
Assess the source systems first
Identify where party data, product data, commodity codes and shipment data actually live. Usually that is ERP for products and parties, WMS for movements and TMS for transport documents.
Look for real connectors, not "we can integrate"
Ask which of your specific systems the vendor connects to today, in production, at another customer. For a working framework, see this Trader Support Service integration guide.
Handle supplier documents realistically
Supplier invoices are the messiest input. The right tool treats OCR as a stage in the pipeline, not a magic step, and asks a human when it is not sure.
Own the mapping
Data mapping is usually a bigger cost than the licence. Budget for it.
Map iCustoms against your current stack. Watch a demo.
