White Paper – Automating the Import Supply Chain

New Global Trade Management (GTM) technologies - software, trade content and e-commerce services - are
increasingly important to automate global operations across procurement, logistics and trade compliance
business processes.

This whitepaper will explore these trends in more detail and propose a framework for GTM that can support the
complete automation of the import supply chain.

White Paper – NVOCC Profit Optimization

NVOCCs must buy low and sell high. Each transaction carefully managed to be competitive in the market
and deliver sufficient margin to grow the business. The key to this balancing act is effectively managing the
breadth of the NVOCC portfolio of ocean contracts to precisely understand available routes, services and
costs. With the buy-side under control, NVOCCs must then look to tools that make their sales teams more
efficient enabling them to quote (profitable) rates over the telephone or prepare highly differentiated proposals
in a fraction of the time it takes today. By taking the complexity out of pricing, NVOCCs can grow market
share without additional sales expense.

This white paper will demonstrate how Rate Explorer from Management Dynamics can deliver profitable growth
with a proven solution that is the market share leader for NVOCCs.

White Paper – On Demand Trade Content Tools

With over 190 countries in the world actively involved in international commerce, trading regulations can have
a significant impact on import and export operations as goods move through a global supply chain – crossing
multiple political, geographic and regulatory borders. Classifying products, calculating duties and taxes and
complying with import and export controls are just a few of the many trade processes that take place when
buying and selling goods globally. Moreover, trade content itself is highly complex and ever changing. The
challenge for companies in today’s globalized environment is to maintain compliance with changing trade
regulations, manage a growing network of supplier and trading partner relationships, and still get their product
to market at lowest delivered cost.

This white paper will demonstrate how what used to require many hours of manual interpretation of trade rules
and regulations is now an automated process achieved instantly via Trade Wizards from Management Dynamics.
