Logistics ERP for Singapore

Singapore is one of the world top logistics hubs, with the Port of Singapore ranking as the second busiest container port globally and Changi Airport handling substantial air cargo volumes. Singapore Customs administers the TradeNet system for electronic declaration of imports, exports, and transshipments. All trade declarations must be submitted through TradeNet before goods can be cleared. The Strategic Goods (Control) Act regulates the transhipment and transit of strategic goods through Singapore, requiring permits for controlled items.

Logistics in Singapore

Singapore offers several customs schemes that benefit logistics operators. The Licensed Warehouse Scheme allows duty and GST suspension on imported goods stored in approved warehouses. The Zero-GST Warehouse Scheme suspends GST on non-dutiable goods stored for re-export. The Approved Third Party Logistics Company Scheme allows logistics companies to manage duty and GST-suspended goods on behalf of multiple clients. Free Trade Zones at the port and airport provide customs-free environments for transshipment operations.

The logistics sector in Singapore faces labor constraints that drive automation adoption. The Ministry of Manpower foreign worker policy limits the dependency ratio for the services sector, which includes logistics. The progressive wage model sets minimum wage requirements for specific logistics job categories. The Land Transport Authority regulates commercial vehicle operations with specific requirements for heavy vehicle permits and restricted zone access.

Yukti provides Singapore logistics companies with TradeNet declaration integration for import, export, and transshipment filings. The warehouse module supports Licensed Warehouse, Zero-GST Warehouse, and ATPLC scheme operations with duty and GST suspension tracking, inventory management by customs status, and scheme compliance documentation. Strategic goods control screening identifies items requiring permits under the Strategic Goods Act. Free Trade Zone operations management handles transshipment workflows with minimal customs intervention. The fleet module manages LTA commercial vehicle permits, restricted zone access scheduling, and vehicle emission standards compliance. GST calculations at 9% apply the correct treatment based on the customs scheme and transaction type. The HR module manages CPF contributions, progressive wage model compliance for logistics workers, and foreign worker dependency ratio monitoring.
