When it comes to simplifying the complexities of your import and export business, if you are importing a minimum of 30 containers monthly and/or have 500+ import product lines, the Tradecloud import software provided by Outtrader delivers the ideal solution with its unique automated and integrated service to import trade.
Import trade is a complex process and servicing importing in the world of global supply chain management requires specialist functionality in: Buying; Shipping; Treasury; Import Finance and Accounting. Tradecloud has mastered this import software functionality while servicing a blue-chip corporate client base as a leading global trade management Software as a Service (SaaS).
For an import and export business, the import buying activity, in a competitive import software platform world, requires an accurate delivered Estimated Landed Cost (ELC) of product. This enables assessment and selection of product for import. An ELC is not merely a cost of the logistics component but rather an all-inclusive cost per unit including supply cost; foreign exchange conversion to local currency; and appropriate allocation to items of all door-to-door logistics costs of forwarding, freight, clearing, import duty through to warehousing and local distribution. Tradecloud provides that ELC, significantly streamlining your global supply chain management process.
Once buyers have an accurate, real time ELC they need to interact with their suppliers to negotiate pricing, quantity and timing. An interactive communication platform provided by the Tradecloud import software enables buyer to supplier collaboration and negotiation. Once a buyer is ready to place an order the next Tradecloud best practice step is a Confirmed Landed Cost (CLC) to secure supplier confirmation and a pro forma invoice.
