Cutting-Edge Cross-Border Shipping Technology Hits Key Milestones, Improving Cross-Border Trade
El Paso, Texas (PRWEB) August 30, 2013 -- A recently launched software platform is delivering real results for companies seeking faster freight shipping times across the congested U.S.-Mexico border.
SecureOrigins, Inc., an El Paso, Texas firm owned and operated by the professionals behind the Tecma Group of Companies, which provides real estate and consulting services to manufacturers in Mexico, has developed proprietary software that is establishing cost-effective, sustainable security best practices for international traders, while speeding their passage through U.S. ports of entry.
“This is the technology the border trade community has been clamoring for,” SecureOrigins President, Toby Spoon said. “From our El Paso headquarters, we can monitor a client’s shipment from point of origin to point of destination and offer data-driven recommendations on the times of day that will offer the most efficient crossing times. For our C-TPAT partners, we can provide expert analysis to determine whether they are receiving the level of service they deserve for the investment necessary to remain a member of the security program.”
In the short time since its January 2013 deployment, SecureOrigins has achieved major milestones, already earning a reputation for being a must-have partner for companies in the U.S.-Mexico marketplace.
• Executed a memorandum of understanding between the city of El Paso, Texas and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to maximize the efficiency of the international bridges in that city.
• Provided dramatic reduction in crossing time for clients, taking crossings from an average of 76 minutes at project launch to a current 20-25 minutes.
• Established real-time common operating picture with CBP and supply chain partners.
• For those trucks enrolled in the program and achieving reduced crossing times, calculated reduced emissions is 26.8%.
“We are very pleased with the competitive advantage we’re delivering to our partners,” Spoon said. “We are looking forward to integrating the SecureOrigins platform into more companies’ supply chain system in the coming months and giving them the game-changing information they need to increase their competitive edge.”
