22 Julio 2014 - 5:45AM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that Aetna Forwarding, Inc. is streamlining shipment management and
US customs entry submission with Descartes' OneView™ Forwarder
Enterprise and Customs House Brokerage (CHB) solution. The solution
helps coordinate global air and ocean import/export shipments and
includes support for the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for
US customs entries and security filings.
"Descartes' OneViewTM solution will help us better serve our
customers by enabling us to increase efficiency, reduce paperwork,
and meet upcoming regulatory changes as US Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) fully transitions to ACE," explains Thomas Kenney,
Vice President, CHB at New York-based Aetna Forwarding. "Descartes
not only offers an effective solution for integrated brokerage,
accounting and shipment lifecycle management, but also offers the
deployment expertise, individualized hands-on training, and
localized support required to help us maximize our return on
investment. Aetna's relentless quest for cutting edge technology
has finally met its match with Descartes' OneViewTM."
Descartes' OneView solution is an enterprise-class application
that helps freight forwarders, Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers
(NVOCCs) and third-party logistics service providers (3PLs) better
handle multi-modal shipment coordination and supply chain
management. The solution features an integrated multi-divisional
accounting module that helps customers, like Aetna Forwarding,
streamline billing, payment and financial reporting processes.
Customers can also choose to deploy the Customs House Broker option
which manages US customs entries and security filings. In support
of the April of 2015, ACE filing deadline for all modes of
transport, the solution also provides ACE-enabled features such as
Post Summary Corrections (PSCs), ACE Entry Summaries, Periodic
Monthly Statements and other value-added compliance
capabilities.
"We're pleased that Aetna Forwarding has been able to quickly
achieve great results with Descartes' OneView Forwarder Enterprise
and CHB solution," said George Manolis, Vice President, Product
Management - Broker & Forwarder Enterprise Systems at
Descartes. "Logistics services providers, such as Aetna Forwarding,
depend on robust technology supported by local expertise to run
their businesses effectively and maintain regulatory
compliance."
