International freight operations rely on software to automate export transactions. An export management system (EMS) captures order data, generates export documents (commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin), prepares electronic customs declarations, and coordinates freight bookings. The system manages shipment tracking, compliance checks (embargo screening, sanctions screening), and record retention. Typically integrated with warehouse management or shipping software, it significantly reduces errors and processing times.
