To treat the total commercial complexity of management

Movements of JP Morgan Chase and TradeBeam, and their respective acquisitions, as discussed in the leaders of market of total commercial management of this note, indicate that the total commercial space of management (engine) consolidates and that the suppliers of solution of point disappear. The chiefs like JP Morgan Chase and TradeBeam include/understand that to really improve the total trade, one must be able to control the chain of provisioning physical and financial through the whole commercial transaction. The physical chain of provisioning is composed of conformity of export/importation, management of document, forwarding detecting, the electronic management of chain of provisioning (SCEM), the inventory control, the total management of parts, the management of safety, and the management of contract. The financial chain of provisioning refers to tasks such as the treatment of buying order, the letter of credit the management of management (LLC), of management of opened, pre account-- and of post-forwarding of financing, reconciliation, invoice of presentment, conflict of management, foreign currencies, and insurance (see diagram 1).

As for the acquisition of the port opened by TradeBeam, the integration of product should be complete by second half of 2005, and TradeBeam pawns to maintain the service and uninterrupted support for a principal group open customers of port during the immediate fulfilment of contract of phase and post of transition. TradeBeam was also urged during the discussions with the open port the 'customers S to include/understand their specific circumstances, the range of their projects, and to accept jointly in the conditions of working together to ensure the alignment of the goals of businesses. Engine is new and the very large applications potentially of company space which was compared by certain being the next paradigm of corporation after the planning of entrepreneurial resource (ERP). TradeBeam is considered a thought-chief because of his significant initially driving favours. It favoured few years compared with the majority of the competitors, and began with booklet end to end engine, and did not rtroadapt its solution on other applications of cousin undertaken. Up to now, TradeBeam has an impressive functional range, and he promises much in the future.

Some applications of company, such as the logistics of international business (ITL) and the engine simply seem to lend themselves well to an accomodated model. Because of their spread nature, they cannot effectively function the other manner. With knowknowing, the import/export total obtain-with-pays or order-with-money cash process require a certain number of activities, such as suppliers of source and customers; treat the sale and buying order; ensure the goods; publish and receive the LLC; finance the trade; you charge with forwarding; create the commercial documents; export/importation of conformity of customs; send and receive the goods; send and receive the invoice; reconcile; and the initiate and receive the payment (see diagram 2).

To a more granular level, these activities belong to the following under-processes:

  * order-includes the needs for request for plan, controls nomenclatures (BOM), control of the catalogues of product, checks the statute of inventory, creates buying orders, checks compliances, controls the inventory, controls buying orders, evaluates the risk of the management of chain of provisioning (SCM), recognizes the order, classifies goods, calculates unloaded costs, control the contract, ensures of the goods, and obtains the insurance of credit

  * finance-apply and control the LLC, control the documentation, control the opened account, ask the pre financing and post-forwarding, check conformity, evaluate the risk of SCM, and arrange foreign currencies

  * embark-ask the reservation, embark the book, create the opinion of boat, create the shipping documents, control the advice of dispatch, control the guarantee of forwarding, detect forwardings, control the events, evaluate the risk of SCM, control the clear habits, habits, receive the goods, and control the returns

  * the bench on file create the invoice, present the invoice, reconcile documents, control conflicts, prepare documents, present documents, control accident claims, and receive the handing-over

In any case, much of the latter only could be effectively accomplished by an accomodated solution based on the WEB, have the price indicated by transaction. To achieve in an optimal way the total commercial cycle, businesses must automate, detect, and provide the visibility to the whole process of engine to optimize its chains of provisioning or distribution.

The average total commercial cycle of the order by the payment is 120 days, while a complete accomodated solution of engine as that of TradeBeam can reduce this cycle by a 12 days average, which can improve of the users 'margin by 10 percent or thus.

The wanting number of users of the solutions provided above the Internet with month's subscriptions or fees transaction-based appreciably increased. The majority of the new customers want a model transaction-based rather than a right purchase with large, will upfront, payment (see the tendencies in models of the delivery and evaluation for applications of company). Moreover, an approach on the level of the company, on-places with the total trade and a logistics could not be the best approach because of the high costs and the difficulties of execution. In fact, products with the broadest throw a call for the total trade seem today to be accomodated, the solutions based on the WEB which make it possible companies to go apart from their wall fire resistant to provide the visibility of chain of provisioning, the management of event, management with several operating processes of execution of logistics, import and export, and commercial safety with the shippers of company.

A tool if based on the WEB is not simply the choice to connect itself the vast carriers, to shippers, and to other service providers, but is often a better approach than the solutions ERP-directed for commercial conformity and documentation. They is mainly because the systems of ERP have usually only descriptions of marketing of product in their data of Master of article, of nontechnical descriptions necessary for conformity of standardization. Thus, for example, if the Apple computer Import PowerBooks, its name and description associated with sale would not be proportioned for habits of the USA. The commercial applications of conformity should be able to remove the description of sale about purchase and to associate it with a commercially acceptable description and the correct harmonized classification of the program of tariff (HTS). For example, the system should enumerate PowerBook like laptop with certain configurations and characteristics, and the right number of code of HTS.

Moreover, conforming to the 24 rules of hour, and based on the importer the buying order of S, and information on the customers the products, the application should be able to create the shipping instructions for the shipper and to send them to the carriers for their proclamation. Thus provided all the information which must be formed, a system based on the WEB, connected to the business partners around the world, should be faster, easier, and improves that taking a system company-based and trying to transform it into total system of logistics. it is manifestly difficult to integrate the systems Company-based with a wide-area network of the users. Moreover, hardly any company would like its data principal of ERP going directly to the suppliers. It is blocked much more to have a system which takes only the absolute necessary data of the system of ERP or in back-office to divide with the supplier.

In the case of TradeBeam, the company had tried to be distinguished from the pars and the competitors while offering more than the only capacity to detect orders and forwardings, while aiming at improving each of the three groups of activities which compose total trade to it the order, forwarding, and the Financial Regulation. It designed several so-called models solution to solve the specific total commercial problems, extending to provide the conformity of visibility and trade of forwarding from importation to be eliminated from the financial anomalies while controlling the LLC. TradeBeam 'model of solution of S start with the principal points of pain of the total trade and identify tools and strategies available to the companies seeking the advantages of the value of optimized engine. They include a unit on request for applications of engines which individually could contribute the significant value to a company while solving specific problems of management of event. This monitoring system of chain of provisioning allows companies proactivement supervise their execution of chain of provisioning by automatically alerting users with the exceptions in the method for realization of order. TradeBeam arms with the data to provide of decision-making aid integrated to give to directors their best answer to the situations of outside-of-tolerance concerning the execution and the realization of order. TradeBeam provides close to the monitoring in real-time, the measurement and the visibility of the order and forwarding detecting through the whole chain of provisioning total.
