Trade Technologies Completes Over 100,000 Original Digital Trade Document Presentations
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) September 29, 2016 -- Trade Technologies, the global leader for international trade document solutions, announced today the successful completion of its 100,000th fully electronic presentation of original trade documents to banks and buyers. Trade Technologies presents original letter of credit, open account and other trade documents online to 50 examination offices of 17 international trade banks located in 12 different countries.
In total, Trade Technologies has successfully completed over 250,000 international trade transactions with a total value of over $75 billion since 2003. 40% of these transactions were completed digitally.
Trade Technologies’ solutions empower the creation and delivery of all first and third party documents and not just the digital versions of a single third-party transport document. Each of the 100,000 online presentations contained originals and copies of all required documents, including all types of original third-party “e-transport documents,” such as carrier bills of lading, house bills of lading, forwarder cargo receipts and air waybills. Trade Technologies’ presentations are fully compliant with the established rules of the UCP600 and have been honored for payment by hundreds of issuing banks and buyers around the world.
