QAD Precision Global Trade and Transportation Benchmarking Modules

GLOBAL TRADE MANAGEMENT

TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS

Ensuring your goods reach your customers in a timely and cost-effective manner is crucial to all global shippers. This module will help you uncover areas where improved processes will result in lower costs, increased efficiencies, and a better ROI on logistics spend.

FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS

Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) abolish or reduce import tariffs on selected goods traded between signatory countries. Leveraging FTAs can give manufacturers and importers a competitive edge when their goods qualify for preferential treatment. This module looks at whether your organization is receiving the full benefit of the FTAs available to you.

FREIGHT BILL AUDITING

Transporting goods from point A to B can be an expensive business. Companies that process a high volume of freight bills without auditing them are very likely to be overpaying by a significant amount without realizing it. This module looks at freight auditing processes to see if your organization is controlling logistics spend.

Benchmarking 10

CUSTOMS AUDIT

A customs audit attempts to verify whether an organization is in compliance with customs legislation. This module looks at the impact of a customs audit on your business.

Benchmark 11

DUTY DRAWBACK

This module looks at duty drawback activities. Companies entitled to duty drawback but not claiming it are leaving money on the table.
