EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) Solutions Case Study
Challenge
A US Non-Resident Importer (NRI) account had trouble with their documentation. Late receipt of documents and illegible faxed copies to the broker caused a slowdown in the release process.
Solution
A & A developed an electronic solution utilizing EDI to provide immediate receipt of information before the goods were even shipped. This solution eliminated the issue of illegible faxed copies and misdirected paperwork. The information was sent directly to A & A’s system where the clearance preparation could begin immediately.
Results
• Accelerated clearance.
• Confident transactions knowing all relevant information was received.
• No extra time spent locating and re-sending the fax documentation to the broker.
