Automated export documentation
A flexible, seamless solution that delivers big savings and greater efficiency
Our association with Prodoc
Auckland-based TradeWindow provides digital solutions to drive connectivity, productivity and visibility, including paperless processes for trade partners across various industries. These include Prodoc, a trusted and proven export documentation solution for over 30 years.
Abel began working with TradeWindow in 2019 to develop an interface that delivers Prodoc’s benefits to Abel’s customers. Much of the data that Prodoc needs for a shipment already exists in Abel. You can send data across the interface multiple times while a shipment is being prepared, so you can begin work on the export documentation in Prodoc.
Prodoc is Abel’s preferred provider for export documentation automation.

Introducing Prodoc
Exporters can spend a lot of time manually preparing documents to comply with MPI, shipping and border requirements. Yet one mistake can be costly – triggering customs penalties, critical delays and business losses.
Prodoc eliminates the risks of manual data entry by automating the export documentation process on one easy-to-use, flexible platform. Seamlessly integrating data from Abel into globally recognised export document templates, Prodoc helps you produce exactly the right set of documents for every shipment in a matter of seconds, not hours or days. Prodoc can then electronically transmit this documentation to your trade partners.
By streamlining a critical business process, Prodoc provides significant benefits: accurate data, faster delivery, increased visibility and sustainability, automated communications and substantial cost savings. Thanks to efficiency gains of up to 60%, you can free up your staff for other valuable work.
