Features

Hercules works like ten of you…

  • Intuitive navigation of data entry forms.  Users say it is the most friendly software.  Only a single entry of all data is needed; double entry is a thing of the past.  Data entry is enhanced by customizable drop-down lookups and a duplicating button.  Both allow you to quickly duplicate repetitive shipments.
  • Hercules Export utilizes an AES Direct interface which submits AES Direct data automatically from Hercules.  EDI optional.
  • Hercules helps you stay in compliance with US Customs. Avoid large penalties and catch errors early with Hercules.

Customizable & Always Up to Date

With Hercules you have the ability to quickly and affordably customize the software to your company’s unique requirements.

Most off-the-shelf software is obsolete in 3 or 4 years.  But Hercules stays current with our free in-line upgrades that accommodate changes in Windows and AES platforms., ensuring your software will be up-to-date at all times.

The power of the single click.

  • Single click to print documents right from the data entry screens.  Nothing could be easier.
  • Single click to ALL related data entry screens from the common data entry form.  Maintains the context of where you are in the program at all times.  This eliminates “drilling” down to your entry fields.
  • Single click to Print, Fax, or Email PDF documents from the data entry screen you’re on.  Print or send multiple documents with one click using our “Print Package” feature.

Optimize and Organize

  • Hercules offers Automatic Invoicing, Real-time Financials, Warehouse / Package module, Nafta, Manifest, and more.
  • Perform detailed searches using any field as a filter.  You can stop digging through stacks of file folders.  Those hundreds of Word documents and Excel spreadsheets kept for each file and transaction?  History!
  • Quickly answer customer questions by instantly retrieving any historical transactions.
  • Integrated with QuickBooks Pro for linking in Invoices (receivables) and Vendor Bills (payables).
  • Designed into Hercules are the US Customs’ approved lists, including: HTS/Schedule B’s, State Codes, License Codes, Export Codes, Unit of Measure Codes, ISO Codes, SCAC or IATA Codes, and Schedule D or K Codes. Update or add to them as required.

Extras.  It’s the little things.

  • An automated pre-alert email generator is included for air shipments.
  • Hercules automatically performs calculations, minimums, dimensions, etc.
  • Defaults custom text fields and calculated text fields where appropriate.

As part of your start-up, we transfer your existing customer base into Hercules to get you up and running right away.
