Amber Road's import compliance solutions establish a baseline of regulatory data, allowing all parties related to the transaction to work in a collaborative manner. As purchase orders are issued and validated with compliance details, the transaction is coordinated with suppliers through our Trade Portals solution. Suppliers and buyers can collaborate to plan shipments, and then build required shipping and compliance documents from the confirmed purchase orders.

Through this collaborative process, organizations can realize resource reductions in non-value added labor and improve pre-clearance rates. In addition, Amber Road's import compliance solutions allow importers to confirm classification, valuation, and quantities of shipments.

Organizations also need to manage their global freight to optimize their GTM strategy. Amber Road's Transportation Management solution addresses the shortfalls of many transportation management solutions when trying to manage international sea freight and airfreight.

	Read our "Best Practices to Reduce International Freight Costs" white paper to discover how your company can benefit from contract automation to meet, or even exceed your aggressive budget commitments.

A sophisticated procurement solution, based on combinatorial bid optimization, our Transportation Management solution allows importers to leverage their global network to find opportunities to reduce freight spend. When integrated with Amber Road's Supply Chain Visibility solution, importers can further automate their freight management operation. This solution provides the needed visibility to easily track all orders, shipments, and in-transit inventory in the supply chain - from origin, to final destination. The operational data collected provides a foundation for Performance Management and allows importers to establish a complete set of scorecards for carriers, forwarders, brokers and other trading partners.

By combining these solutions, importers can optimize their global trade, creating a streamlined, visible and agile supply chain.
