Vision Bond

What Vision Bond is

Vision Bond is bonded warehouse software for companies holding goods under suspended excise or customs duty and reporting to HMRC. It automates HMRC calculations and reporting through EDI, with electronic submissions for CFSP customs duty payments, EMCS underbond movements and ATWD warrants. Its listed operations include daily excise declarations, month-end returns, stock reconciliation and exports using HMRC form C88. Users can request real-time reports and transmissions, while cash deferment controls cover duty demands, direct debit scheduling, credit limits and order authorisation. The software can work as a Vision Warehousing module or as a standalone application linked to an ERP, WMS or in-house system. It can pass transaction information between a WMS and EMCS and return EMCS information to the WMS. The maker describes it as approved for HMRC submissions and says its online transaction audit trail is designed to retain up to 20 years of information; HMRC stipulates seven years after the final stock movement. It runs on Windows and lists connections to JD Edward, SAP, Oracle, Sage and Navision. Pricing is available on request.
