How Amber Road Can Help
Amber Road's Supply Chain Visibility solution provides multi-mode supply chain visibility functionality that connects importers and exporters with their overseas suppliers, logistics providers, brokers, and carriers. Amber Road has built a global trading network with pre-established connectivity to hundreds of trading partners.

The network's secure data communication services enable supply chain partners to share information, distribute reports, and receive alerts on milestones that are critical to the timely delivery of goods.

A robust supplier portal enables trade partners to exchange purchase order, shipment, and inventory information and support collaborative logistics processes. The portal facilitates efficient communication and decision making around issues such as diverting inventory or resolving bottlenecks.

Our solution lets shippers focus on the issues that affect supply chain performance by utilizing proactive alerts and event management to identify deviations. Users can define flexible business rules that display the status of any lifecycle milestone in the supply chain. These events can be followed back through transactions to the original purchase order for complete visibility into individual line items.

For example, with ocean shipments, shippers can receive automatic notifications on status events for each container, such as date of receipt, vessel loaded, departed and arrived, transit, etc. Any shipment can be located or tracked by any one of several reference points, such as booking number, container number, or bill of lading number.
