As the world moves to digital the Tradecloud global supply chain platform provides a unique, automated and integrated service for import trade. Import trade from any origin to any destination is a complex process for an import and export business, which requires extensive digital functionality to service the complex spectrum of global supply chain activity.
Servicing import trade in the world of digital platforms requires specialist functionality in the following key areas: Buying; Shipping; Treasury; Import Finance and Accounting. Tradecloud has mastered this functionality while servicing a blue-chip corporate client base with Software as a Service (SaaS), delivering a total import solution.
The global supply chain logistics industry is currently in a disruptive phase triggered by Covid19 and exacerbated by major shipping lines extending their activities beyond shipping to forwarding, freight, clearing, warehousing and distribution. As a result, import and export businesses now need access to an import solution that provides automated and integrated door-to-door logistics flows and matching end-to-end financial flows giving them strengthened risk management, cost control and lead time optimisation to assist their import trade processes.
The Tradecloud digital platform has unique features critical for effective global trade management which are not available from traditional global supply chain logistics or financial service providers. In particular, accurate real time delivered cost per unit of product imported is essential for any import or export business, large or small. Product for import trade cannot be selected with effective cost and margin management by only having the logistics cost on hand. This is where Tradecloud is set apart by servicing the full import trade activity on an automated and integrated basis, streamlining the supply chain logistics management process.
Extensive import trade related treasury functionality is also a key component to delivering an integrated digital import trade platform. Other key components for the full import trade offering include interactive communication between buyers and suppliers, document management and data mining with dynamic reporting.
The Tradecloud digital platform offers the full import trade solution that caters to import and export businesses, significantly reducing the complexities typically associated with the global supply chain.
