Klatu to Add Brazil DDP Capability to eCom International e-Commerce Solution
Brazil DDP capability will enable real-time DDP Pricing for IT and Consumer Electronics Products sold by US suppliers
(PRWEB) November 15, 2003 --Klatu's eCom e-commerce solution already calculates DDP landed cost pricing to nearly 40 countries in the region and calculates pricing under several other types of Incoterms, including EXW, DDU, CIF and FCA. The functionality is expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2004 and will permit USA suppliers to quote DDP pricing to consumers throughout the region, including Brazil.
Adding Brazil to the DDP engine will allow Brazilian resellers to quote DDP pricing on products sold by US suppliers, including manufacturers and distributors. This enables a local Brazilian reseller to display to their consumers a US suppliers authorized catalog of products and price them properly. Our solution takes into account all transportation and landed costs, thereby enabling an e-store fulfillment model and true international supply chain capabilities.
Because of the prevalence of cross-border sales between Brazil and neighboring countries, the engine can be adapted to calculate sales to Brazil based on the tariff structure of another country, such as Paraguay. Some resellers quote pricing into the Brazilian marketplace and deliver from a neighboring country such as Paraguay. The Brazilian consumers then cross the border and return with their orders.
The current DDP country list is; NORTH AMERICA: Bermuda. CENTRAL AMERICA: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama. SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela. CARIBBEAN: Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, The Bahamas, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles, Puerto Rico, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & The Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks & Caicos Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands
