IES Ocean Export system fully automates an entire ocean export operation. Based on proven operational workflow procedures, IES Ocean Export integrates all steps from quotation to booking to document distribution. Vital information only needs to be entered once and can be reused through all subsequent steps. Since quotations, bookings and shipping instructions all share common data, they can be created quickly.

Document production is as simple as selecting the print button and includes complete flexibility to customize the format. Sending quotes or booking requests is a snap with desktop level fax or e-mail functions, including the option of direct-to-carrier EDI transactions.

Book and send vital shipping instructions directly to the world's leading carriers as well as receive EDI status messages. Integration across modules further eliminates duplicate effort to improve productivity and increases data integrity. Similar shipment and billing processes across modules permits staffing flexibility. Fully integrated AES filing sends data to CBP and receives CBP responses via high speed encrypted MQ interface and satisfies compliance requirements. Optional, IES AES Denied Party Screening verifies government approved shipment parties.

Comprehensive multi-agent consolidation settlement allows you to define your profits splits at the agent level once and automatically include this information in every consolidation using this agent. The end-user will no longer need to refer to external spreadsheets. Splits can be based on profit, flat rate or fee and include thresholds. Let the system calculate the net payment or invoice at the consolidation level.

Agents can be allowed complete visibility to settlements, so you can resolve issues prior to posting. Billing is simplified with comprehensive client pricing and vendor billing matrices. With IES you can deliver more accurate quotes to your customers faster and virtually eliminate billing errors.
