TradePoint have incorporated an easy-to-use and low-cost Imaging System to electronically capture and store every document that can be printed from its Alliance system during the course of Customs clearance work. (8/7/2001)

The new Alliance Imaging system improves productivity and service levels dramatically for Customs Brokers by providing automated processes for creating, naming, indexing, storing and retrieving of electronic documents. These electronic images can then be viewed, printed, faxed and e-mailed by a Broker’s staff, as well as users of TradePoint’s Internet Tracking system.

TradePoint developed Alliance Imaging to bring the benefits offered by imaging technology to its Alliance Import, BreakBulk and Accounting customers. This release of Alliance Imaging provides an automated process for the naming, indexing, storage and retrieval of electronic documents for viewing, printing, and even e-mailing by a Broker’s staff. It is designed to efficiently capture the numerous Customs and business forms that can be generated by TradePoint’s Alliance Import or BreakBulk systems.

Alliance Imaging also provides a means through which a Broker’s staff can retrieve any document images that are related to the transaction being worked on. Users are then given the ability to view these documents on their screens, print them, and attach them to e-mails. These document images offer a crisp, clear reproduction of the hard-copy document, complete with all the details of the forms onto which they are printed.
