Clarity at
every entry.

Give entry preparation, transmission and response review a shared working context. iCHB brings brokerage details together so your team can work through the entry and see what needs attention next.

Explore the workflow
Entry context connects preparation, ABI transmission and response.
Built around the entry

Every entry has details.
Keep them in context.

An entry is more than a filing number. It brings together shipment references, parties, invoices, line items and financial details. iCHB gives brokerage teams a structured place to work through that information and return to it when the next question arrives.

01 · PREPARE

Start with the record.

Use Entry Summary or Cargo Release as the starting point, then build out the details of the entry.

02 · REVIEW

Check the working context.

Move through transport, parties, B/L references and invoice details before choosing the next action.

03 · TRANSMIT

Choose the filing action.

Access Entry Summary transmission from To ABI, with related entry actions in the same menu.

04 · FOLLOW UP

Return to the response.

Review ABI Response, Status Notification and Transaction Log as part of the entry’s follow-through.

From preparation to follow-through

The entry is the thread.
The workflow stays connected.

The work continues after preparation. An entry may call for a transmission, a status query, an update or a closer look at a returned message. Keep the reference visible as the team moves between those steps.

Entry context connects preparation, ABI transmission and response.
Designed for daily brokerage work

The details you need.
The context to work with them.

iCHB’s entry screens bring operational and financial information into a familiar tabbed structure. Review the detail at the level the work requires, without losing sight of the entry behind it.

Entry preparation + documentation

Move from shipment and party information to the invoice and line-item detail that supports the entry. Keep references specific enough to find and revisit.
