The short answer

A family of products, one tax core

The direct answer

GUEPARDO is a family of nine NTT DATA products, and GUEPARDO Tax is the module that DFSpro implements and governs today. That depth in the module comes from an earlier specialization: tax and fiscal work in SAP.

What the family is

Nine products published by NTT DATA for companies running SAP: tax management, electronic invoices, foreign trade, automation, audit, data, payments, receipts and credit.

What Tax is

The tax core of the family: tax calculation, obligations and the tax calendar inside SAP. The other products connect to Tax or to the SAP ERP, each with its own function.

Where DFSpro comes in

Authorized Channel for GUEPARDO. For GUEPARDO Tax, it sells the license, implements and governs. Availability, version and terms of the other products belong to NTT DATA.

The 12 Global Trade modules

Twelve modules, in two groups of six

NTT DATA lists 12 modules inside Global Trade. See what each one controls, who uses it and what it integrates.

Foreign trade operation

These six modules cover the customs and logistics operation, from the order abroad to delivery, with integration to government systems and automatic updating of information.

Export

Controls export from end to end, from receiving the goods to delivery abroad: process registration, DU-E, booking and space reservation, packing list, transport document, sending documents by courier and shipping invoices.

Audience. Companies that export their own or purchased products and service providers that advise on this process, of any size.

Integration. According to NTT DATA, it tracks customs transit with alerts, shows the result of the operation, issues accounting reports and works with the company's ERP, including SAP, and with the Import, Customs Clearance and Billing modules.

Check. The check between the shipment, the documents issued and the result of the operation.

Import

Controls the importer's flow, from the purchase order abroad to delivery to the customer in Brazil: order, proforma, invoice, full, partial or grouped shipments, international bill of lading, advances, payment requests and accounting of expenses.

Audience. Trading companies, customs brokers, importers, exporters and freight agents.

Integration. It integrates with Siscomex for licenses and declarations and monitors their progress, with email alerts. According to NTT DATA, it automatically registers 85% of the transport document of the linked process.

Check. The match between order, shipment, declaration and recorded costs, up to the closing of the process.

Customs Clearance

Uses the operational information from all departments for clearance, so that the paperwork becomes a check. Registers and controls import, export, bonded warehouse, drawback and temporary admission processes, both on own account and on behalf of third parties.

Audience. Importers, exporters, trading companies and service providers, such as customs brokers and consultancies, with in-house or contracted clearance.

Integration. It works with Siscomex Web and Siscomex Carga and with the product catalog, LPCO, DUIMP, DI and CCT of the Single Portal. It stores in the digital archive the DI and CI summary downloaded automatically.

Check. That the clearance information matches the operation data and the records in government systems.

Drawback

Controls the Concession Act and Integrated Drawback: deadlines and progress, product reports, value-added index, purchase and shipment deadlines, balance of taxes to be cleared and clearance reports. The regime suspends or eliminates taxes on inputs used in exported products.

Audience. Industries and customs brokers or consultancies that follow import and export drawback for their customers.

Integration. It consolidates the purchases linked to the number of the Act and fills in the control, which reduces errors in clearance. It integrates with the import and export modules and, according to NTT DATA, accepts communication by EDI and automation with the Federal Revenue Service systems.

Check. That the clearances of the Act match the purchases, the shipments and the deadlines of the regime.

Robots

They automate reading and registering in government systems, with three goals: less rework, fewer typing errors and data integration. They look for new cargo, follow expected DI, LI and CI and, when the user authorizes it, register DI, LI, RE and DE in Siscomex.

Audience. Companies that want to automate the foreign trade routine and reduce human error.

Integration. They compare what they read with the data of the other modules, alert analysts and managers and file PDF extracts in the process. According to NTT DATA, 70% of the import flow is supported by robots, with a suggested cargo read every three hours.

Check. That the data read and registered by the robot matches the process and the stored extract.

Follow-up WEB

It is the portal where the customer's customer follows the process: status, deadlines, lead time and scanned copies of documents. It shows views by phase, such as to ship, shipped, cargo present, awaiting CI, invoiced and closing.

Audience. Importers, exporters and service providers who report to the end customer, and trading companies, whose representatives follow operations and commission.

Integration. It controls access by company and user, receives data sent by the customer, notifies the analyst and connects to Finance, GED, Customs Clearance, Import, Export and Billing.

Check. That the customer sees the same status, deadlines and documents that the operation recorded.

Finance, tax and documents

These six modules cover the financial, tax and document side: invoice issuing, billing, contracts, cost simulation, FX and electronic document management.

NF-e

Issues NF-e and NFS-e for foreign trade operations, from the DI or from sales orders, with complementary, shipping, return and distribution invoices. Sends the XML and the DANFE by email to the customer and the carrier and stores the XML.

Audience. Companies that want flexibility in issuing invoices. For the customs broker, it calculates the NF-e and sends the draft to the customer.

Integration. It generates the outbound invoice from the inbound invoice, imports the XML of invoices issued against the company for bookkeeping and monitors, by robots, the recipient's acknowledgment.

Check. That the invoice issued, the stored XML and the recipient's acknowledgment tell the same story of the operation.

Billing

Audience. Project-based service providers and companies that need tight control of contracts.

Integration. It links the contract to service orders, quotes, orders and invoices, keeps the scanned document and feeds the controllership view and billing.

Check. That the contract's revenue, expenses and amendments match billing and the profitability calculated.

Cost sheet

Simulates import and export costs before the process, by NCM (Mercosur product code) or by product, compares scenarios, shows the final price and generates the commercial proposal. Once the costing is approved, it creates the process automatically.

Audience. Those who need to predict costs before importing or exporting, whether for resale or for third parties.

Integration. It reuses tax and logistics parameters and integrates with Import, Export, Customs Clearance, Tax and CRM, with assistants to review price tables.

Check. That the simulated cost comes close to the cost found at the close of the process.

Trade Finance

Controls foreign currency assets and liabilities from import and export: FX purchase and sale contract, advance FX, letter of credit, hedge, FINIMP and REFINIMP, quote history and open balances.

Audience. Foreign trade companies that manage FX operations, especially in an advanced way.

Integration. It handles FX variation integrated with accounting, separating the balance sheet effect from the income effect, and controls the replacement of the obligation in FINIMP. It connects finance to the registered invoices.

Check. That the FX variation and the reconciliation with accounting close in the period.

GED

It is electronic document management: cloud storage, folders with versioning, search standards and access restrictions, and individual or batch sending by email.

Audience. Teams that need access to current and historical documents from anywhere, and to share them with other departments and with the customer.

Integration. It links each scanned document to the system record, receives files from robots that monitor email inboxes and makes the files available in Follow-up WEB.

Frequently asked questions

02Is GUEPARDO only Tax? How do the products relate?+

No. Tax is the tax core, and the other products cover electronic invoices, foreign trade, master data, audit, data analysis, payments, receipts and credit. According to NTT DATA, Audit integrates with Tax, Process Automation with four other products and Analytics with all the modules.

03Do I need to contract more than one product?+

NTT DATA presents each product on its own page, and the terms for contracting, alone or together, are its own. Start with the problem that costs the most today and confirm with NTT DATA whether the product you choose depends on another in the family.

04Which products belong to Serrala and what does that mean for a buyer?+

Cash Application and Credit & Collections are Serrala apps, with NTT DATA's intelligence, presented in the GUEPARDO portfolio. A buyer should ask NTT DATA who answers for support and updates. DFSpro does not provide services on these two products.

05What does DFSpro sell, implement and govern?+

DFSpro is an Authorized Channel for GUEPARDO. The license, implementation and governance it offers are those of GUEPARDO Tax. The other products belong to NTT DATA, which answers for availability, version and terms of contracting.

06I already use Tax. Where do I start to expand my use of GUEPARDO?+

With the symptom. If the problem is electronic invoices, look at e-Invoicing. If it is the check before filing, Audit. If it is the dashboard view, Analytics. Before contracting, confirm with NTT DATA the SAP version, the integration with the Tax you already use and the delivery model.

07Do Global Trade and e-Invoicing overlap in issuing invoices?+

They are different products. e-Invoicing is presented as the product for issuing and receiving electronic tax documents. Global Trade has an NF-e module and a Billing module, aimed at foreign trade. The split between the two, in your operation, is a question for NTT DATA.

08Does Analytics depend on Tax?+

For NTT DATA, Analytics integrates all GUEPARDO modules and gathers data from SAP, cloud and on-premise sources. Ask NTT DATA, before contracting, whether it runs without Tax and with which indicators.

09Is Audit the same as the official SPED validator?+

No. The official SPED validator belongs to the Federal Revenue Service. Audit is an NTT DATA product that, according to NTT DATA, validates files before filing and cross-checks data from several sources. Which obligations it validates is a question for NTT DATA.

10Does Payments connect to my bank?+

11Does GUEPARDO have certifications?+

NTT DATA declares that GUEPARDO has six certifications, cited on its pages. For the product you are going to contract, ask NTT DATA for the scope of each one, product by product.

12Where do I ask about price, deadline and version?+

Price, deadline and version of each product belong to NTT DATA, which owns them. For GUEPARDO Tax, DFSpro, as an Authorized Channel, leads the conversation on license, implementation and governance. The way in is the contact page.

13What changes in each product with the tax reform?+

Ask NTT DATA, product by product, what changes in the layout, the calculation and the files, and from when. What the tax reform changes in SAP, regardless of the product, is on the tax reform CBS and IBS page.

14What is the Single Portal that Global Trade queries?+

It is the federal government's Single Portal for Foreign Trade program, started in 2014 to reduce the red tape, time and cost of Brazilian exports and imports. According to NTT DATA, the Global Trade robots run scheduled queries to systems of this portal, such as the product catalog, LPCO, DUIMP and DI.
