Import Management Supply Chain Software - e2open
Faster border clearance, more efficient compliance
Do away with time-consuming manual import processes. E2open Import Management automates essential import operations, empowering importers to collect all the required information on a single platform, collaborate seamlessly with supply chain partners, establish complete compliance, and clear borders quickly.
Manual processes can slow you down
Border clearance takes a lot of paperwork and moving parts
Inaccurate paperwork, poor coordination between partners, and constantly changing rules are just a few challenges of importing. It’s a complex process that can lead to higher costs and unhappy customers when performed manually. Importers must collaborate with partners to make sure complete and accurate information accompanies inbound shipments. Missing import clearance data leads to customs delays, which increase detention and demurrage costs and can make on-time deliveries impossible. Companies must also comply with import regulations to avoid violations, penalties, and brand damage.
Simplify and automate import management
A single platform gives you the tools to automate your import operations and collaborate seamlessly with supply chain partners.
Establish regulatory compliance
The import management system validates each purchase order line item against the most recent government import regulations to verify compliance.
Replace manual data entry
Manual data entry is time-consuming and subject to errors, but now you can dramatically reduce manual steps through automation.
Self-file with certainty
If you prefer not to use a broker, the system integrates easily with e2open Customs Filing for confident self-filing.
Gain complete import visibility
End-to-end visibility into all stages of customs entry enables you to identify bottlenecks and monitor progress.
Collaborate with trading partners
