Customs houses and forwarders targeted by
TradePoint
(January 10, 2002) TradePoint Systems LLC, a provider of
software applications and services to the customs house brokerage
and freight forwarding industry, has entered into an agreement with
ClearCross, a global supply chain technology company, under which
TradePoint has acquired the customer base and exclusive rights to
sell, modify and support the QUESTA line of software to customs
house brokers and freight forwarders.
The QUESTA family of integrated products run under Windows NT and
utilise either SQL or Oracle databases. Products include customs
house brokerage, freight forwarding, breakbulk, and accounting. The
QUESTA line will complement TradePoint’s ALLIANCE family of
brokerage and forwarding products that run on both Compaq and AS/400
servers.
As part of the agreement, TradePoint and ClearCross will work
together to provide a smooth transition of the QUESTA products and
customers to TradePoint’s technical and support environments.
TradePoint will provide QUESTA users with help desk support, product
enhancements, customs compliance, and custom product development
services through its facilities in Nashua, New Hampshire.
Christopher Crane, president & CEO of TradePoint Systems LLC
states: “We are pleased to welcome the QUESTA customers to
TradePoint. We believe that our extensive support organisation along
with the availability of our sophisticated WEB Tracking and Imaging
products will greatly enhance the capabilities of the current QUESTA
customers. We also believe that our ability to offer a full range of
products on the NT platform to new prospects will complement our
current architecture and enable us to continue to enhance our
leadership position.”
“We wanted to ensure that our QUESTA customers would be well
cared for as ClearCross sharpens its focus on our core products and
vertical industries," says Bruce Johnson, CEO of ClearCross. "It has
been a pleasure to work with the TradePoint team and we are
confident that our customers will be satisfied."
In a related transaction TradePoint’s UK affiliate TradePoint
Systems acquired the rights to the SPEX software and customer base.
SPEX is an industry leading export documentation system.
