What does PBB's Global Logistics Technologies service consist of?

PBB's Global Logistics Technologies service consists of a number of applications, both Web and EDI, which provide the following:

• e-Query - The ability for Clients to obtain real-time Tracking & Tracing, Tariff, Entry, Billing, Accounts Receivable, Employee Extension, and Customs Exchange Rate information specific to their account via a protected password environment.

• e-Procurement - The ability for Clients to log on to PBB's website and complete a Purchase Order (P.O.) on-line and email that P.O. to a number of parties within their Supply Chain. The Supplier can then receive that P.O. in an electronic environment, complete the P.O. and ship the goods. If there is a Border Crossing or Customs Port involved than the Supplier would have the ability to drop the P.O. information to an on-line Customs Document and transmit that to PBB for Customs Clearance without having to rekey information.

• e-Trade Documentation - This includes both a Web solution and an EDI solution for clients to transmit their Canadian and U.S. Customs Documentation information to PBB in an electronic environment.

• Web solution - Clients have the ability to log on to PBB's website and have access to all of the data that has been preloaded into their account base within PBB's system and pull from this data to complete their documents. This ensures that mandatory Customs Information is provided and provides the ability for a client's multiple vendors or exporting locations with internet access to utilize this application.
