Impatex Freight Software Ltd

Impatex pioneered ‘Intelligent’ DTI over 30 years ago, and are the leading supplier of Customs software in the UK, with most of the major ‘Corporate’ forwarders and 100’s of SMEs using its Customs Manager software.

Now with NetFreight, Impatex are also a leading supplier of freight management software which also incorporates warehouse management, CRM and links to both UK and US Customs.

With the increasing harmonisation of Customs procedures across Europe, Impatex have developed a new multi-country, multi-lingual, Integrated Customs for Europe (ICE) software package specifically designed for the larger multi-national ‘Corporate’ forwarders that want to standardise on a single Customs software platform across Europe.

After 10 years as the leading UK Customs software, Customs Manager is gradually being replaced by NetFreight and ICE, both of which link to each other.
