www.questaweb.com - QuestaWeb, Inc. (cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT"id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww ..), a premier provider of Web-based integrated global trade management (GTM) solutions, today announced the rollout of the Product Compliance Management (PCMQW) application, an innovative product and vendor management solution tailored to the global compliance needs of importers and exporters. PCMQW contains a robust trade compliance engine that manages a firm"s full range of products and vendors; updates content automatically; and possesses all the functionality required to alert users to regulation and tariff changes, perform vendor and product screenings, execute comparative landed cost calculations, and manage documentation and bills of material. PCMQW offers firms of all sizes a new price entry point, allowing greater access to GTM software functionality. Notably, PCMQW is the foundation of QuestaWeb"s more advanced ImporterQW and ExporterQW modules, allowing seamless additions to the application as a firm"s business needs evolve.
QuestaWeb Vice President Wayne Slossberg says, "Few firms can afford a full-blown GTM system, so many compliance professionals must manage global trade compliance with a computer and spreadsheets. Keeping data current is a labor-intensive job fraught with opportunities for the types of errors that create liabilities for a company." Slossberg continues, "PCMQW is a cost-effective solution, allowing a firm to take the first step toward automated compliance. Today, PCMQW will dramatically improve a company"s day-to-day management of products, vendors, documentation, landed costs, and more. Tomorrow, as global business prospers, PCMQW offers a clear path to a full-blown GTM system without fear of initial software investment obsolescence."
QuestaWeb clients include many Fortune 500 importers and exporters. These firms report increased speed to market (or to production floor), real-time global visibility and compliance, automated reconciliation of purchase orders to commercial invoices, fewer fines, better audit results, lower logistic provider rates, reduced landed costs, and greater efficiency using QuestaWeb"s GTM systems.
Slossberg concludes, "Many companies produce the same product in multiple countries using different vendors. The challenge of managing all these products and vendors with spreadsheets is staggering. GTM provides firms a distinct marketplace advantage, and QuestaWeb"s PCMQW can be the first step in giving your organization that edge."
