Logistics and customs
One missing document can hold a shipment for days.
A clerk keeps the state of every entry in a spreadsheet and in their head, and spends the day finding out which file is waiting on whom. That list can keep itself.

Starting
What to bring on day one
Start from the entry spreadsheet you already keep. Connect mail when you want drafts to customers.
- EntriesYour tracking spreadsheet, as CSV, Excel or Google Sheets.
- DocumentsInvoices and packing lists as PDF or image files. The original is kept unchanged.
- RulesReferences your licensed person has checked, each saying where it comes from. We never invent a requirement.
- Public noticesWeb pages you name, read on the schedule you choose.
What stays with a person
- Sign-off
- A record that someone must answer for goes to sign-off, with what was checked and where each value came from.
- Filing
- Bomuno prepares. It does not replace a licensed broker, and it files nothing.
- Requests to customers
- A draft asking for a document waits in Gmail for you to send.
