Real-time bonded inventory tracking simplifies complex processes, ensuring both customer satisfaction and regulatory adherence.

The intuitive platform eliminated reliance on manual spreadsheets, streamlining workflows and enhancing efficiency.

Resolving Bartrums’ Bonded Warehousing Challenges

Outdated processes created operational bottlenecks. Before adopting Clarus, Bartrums relied on manual spreadsheets to manage stock for their bonded warehouse, which stores high-value items like alcohol under HMRC supervision. This method posed several challenges:

Inefficient workflows delayed operations, making it difficult to scale with growing demand.
Compliance with bonded warehouse regulations, including daily duty submissions to HMRC, was labour-intensive and error-prone.
Customers lacked real-time visibility into their inventory, leading to delays in communication and service.

Bartrums needed a robust solution to streamline operations and ensure compliance while maintaining exceptional customer service.
