Freightgate Improves Food And Beverage Supply Chain Management With Its ISF Compliance Solution

April 7, 2009

Huntington Beach, CA - Freightgate has released Importer Security Filing ISF software known as Compliance-Trek! that makes it easy for food and beverage importers to manage compliance with the new 10+2 ISF regulations. Starting January 2009, food and beverage importers are now required to submit an Importer Security Filing ISF to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for all U.S. imports at least 24 hours prior to the vessel loading at the overseas ocean seaport of origin.

Freightgate, a leading SaaS software solutions provider for supply chain logistics management, has been working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to develop its Compliance-Trek! Importer Security Filing ISF software.

"New ISF security compliance adds more complexity and cost to both the food and beverage importers and their retail customers", says Nick Matyas, Freightgate Vice President Strategic Initiatives. Matyas continues "Compliance-Trek! SaaS on-demand software offers food and beverage importers an integrated solution to manage ISF compliance collaboration with their global manufacturers, suppliers and supply chain partners."

Compliance-Trek! software reduces administrative costs for both small importers and global corporations while improving the entire supply chain lifecycle management. Compliance-Trek! can be easily integrated into existing ERP's to enhance relevant business processes of the food and beverage industry. Compliance-Trek! is embedded with RDV (Role Dependent View) technology allowing companies to control their information confidentially with "need-to-know" permissions. This capability is essential when working with suppliers and third parties in the global marketplace.

Compliance-Trek! SaaS software offers food and beverage companies four immediate benefits that makes it very attractive: 1) Quick to Implement; 2) Pay-As-You-Go Variable Cost; 3) Easily expanded or upgraded on demand; and 4) No Upfront Capital Expense.

Matyas continues "In addition to Importer Security Filing ISF compliance, Freightgate assists food and beverage importers with Transportation Procurement Management. Our GTM-Trek! transportation procurement management software enables food and beverage importers to secure competitive pricing from air and ocean carriers along with freight bill audit features." Freightgate's innovative procurement solutions will help food and beverage importers improve profit margins and collaboration within their supply chain management lifecycle.
