Sentinel works for every EXIM stakeholder

Customs clearance involves many parties — each with different workflows, responsibilities, and pain points. Sentinel is designed so each stakeholder gets the capabilities they need without compromising the others.

For customs brokers & CBs

Sentinel

Scale your filing volume, not your headcount.

Today's customs environment is demanding more than ever. ICEGATE digitisation means every minor error can attract a post-clearance audit notice. RMS-led facilitation means declarations need to be right before submission, not corrected after. And your customers expect faster, more transparent clearance.

For importers & exporters

Pulse

Take control of your EXIM compliance.

You trust your customs broker to handle clearance — but you are responsible for the declaration. Post-clearance audits scrutinise your records, not theirs. Unifo Pulse gives your team the visibility and approval controls you need to be genuinely in charge of your compliance, without replacing your broker or disrupting the clearance flow.

Why this matters for post-clearance audit readiness

As Customs strengthens data-driven audit capabilities, importers and exporters need to demonstrate that their declarations were accurate, authorised, and documented. Unifo Pulse provides the structured approval workflow and version-wise audit trail that makes that demonstration possible — without asking your team to change how they work with their broker.

Works alongside your existing broker — no change to their process.

For freight forwarders

Connect + Nexus

A digital front-end for your customers.

Your customers are comparing you not just on price and transit time, but on digital experience. Sentinel gives you two tools that modernise how you engage with customers and coordinate with partners — without disrupting your existing customs and clearance workflows.

Unifo Connect

A customer-facing portal that gives your shippers self-service visibility into their cargo status — across freight, customs, transport, and warehouse milestones. Your customers stop calling for updates. You stop pulling status reports manually.

  • Live shipment status for all customers in their own portal
  • Document exchange and approval workflows
  • Reports and dashboards for customer management teams
  • White-label option — branded as your own customer portal

Unifo Nexus

A freight partner collaboration network that connects you with your overseas agents and destination partners — automating pre-alert management, document exchange, and clearance coordination across your entire import and export network.

  • Automated pre-alert receipt and processing from agent emails
  • Intelligent document processing digitises incoming documents at the point of receipt
  • Reduced manual coordination across origin–destination corridors
  • Single workflow from partner document to Indian customs filing
