TRADEGATE FUNDS ELECTRONIC IMPORT DELIVERY ORDER (EIDO) PROJECT
Tradegate
announced today that the Tradegate Development Fund (TDF) had approved a
$250,000 electronic import deliver order (EIDO) project being developed by Bryn
Systems for the shipping industry.
“This is the first
major collaboration for Tradegate with the shipping industry and underlines
Tradegate’s focus on the international trade and transport industry,“ Peter
Blanchard Tradegate’s CEO said.
“Bryn’s
development will allow all shipping lines to send electronic import delivery
orders to customs brokers, freight forwarders and importers via Tradegate’s
SmartImports service.”
“Once
fully developed, the software will be provided free of charge to shipping lines
and can offer full integration with shipping lines core administration
systems,” Mr Blanchard said. “The new
service will enable shipping lines to meet container terminal operators’
demands for electronic import delivery orders”.
“The
new application will be ready for deployment in late 2007”, Bryn Systems managing
director, Phill Kenny said. “The system will be completely integrated with our
Atlantis CMR solution, providing customers with true EIDO capabilities and
eliminating redundant data entry requirements.”
“In
conjunction with Tradegate, our new service will provide importers, customs
brokers and freight forwarders with access to over well over 50 per cent of
Australia’s containerized import trade”, Mr Kenny said.
It is
estimated that when fully implemented the joint Tradegate Bryn service will result
in savings to the import community of over $13 million per annum from savings
in time, courier costs, reduced traffic, less paper, and reduced truck times at
wharf.
