Automating Related Party Trade at Agilent Technologies

Agilent operates in over 39 countries and has 2,500 import and export transactions each day, generating over 650,000 global trade documents to support these cross-border shipments. As Agilent rapidly grew its international operations, it needed to improve internal controls and better support the integration of new acquisitions.  With Amber Road's Trade Automation solution, Agilent Technologies decommissioned 10 legacy information systems and automated over 2,000,000 transactions per year - from the export to the import entry - in all 39 countries where Agilent conducts business.

Agilent also gained these trade compliance benefits:

• Increased global visibility of import and export transactions 

• Reduced Customs clearance cycle times

• Improved support for tax returns, audits and payment history

• Reduced transaction errors
