Descartes eCellerate Collaborative Suite

Enabling Global Trading Partner Connectivity

Enhance your operations and evolve beyond basic shipment management by leveraging interactions and connectivity as the central foundation driving the supply chain. Descartes’ eCellerate Collaborative Suite connects you to your trading partners and enables you to work together to help ensure the most efficient movement of goods from purchase order through to delivery.

In today’s information-driven environment, category leaders understand that effective supply chains can depend on a central repository of information where diverse supply chain participants can collaborate and share information. The eCellerate Collaborative Suite places you at the center of information and shipment management, allowing you to Connect, Share and Discover new supply chain alliances and create partnerships in a secure web-based environment. eCellerate is a community-based tool, that ties together logistics service providers, buyers, sellers, vendors, customs brokers, export agents, import agents, carriers and more in a common platform. Participants form a value chain that comes out ahead of non-integrated competitors who are still enmeshed in various and disparate systems. Beyond collaboration, eCellerate was engineered with a flexible and modular product architecture. Customers can bolt-on additional services in parallel to business growth.

In the eCellerate suite of web-based applications, data dynamically flows from party-to-party within the supply chain. Data also streams from one module to the next creating a powerful tool to drive down costs and drive up efficiency.

Summary

Modules include full-featured purchase order management down to the line-item detail, shipping order, booking, shipment, Denied Parties Screening (DPS), and customs/security filing capabilities such as Importer Security Filing (ISF) and ocean and air Automated Manifest Systems (AMS).

This dynamic framework allows companies to expand their product offerings, add valuable services for their customers and enhance their service portfolio to drive up revenue. eCellerate also serves as a data hub for EDI connectivity. EDI-capable users can stream data into the application via EDI. The service supports an intuitive template-driven user interface for manual data entry or to update/edit an existing EDI record. From 850s, 315s, XML to 856s and beyond eCellerate increases efficiencies and margins, improves processes and accelerates time to market.

The Descartes eCellerate Collaborative Suite is powered by the Descartes Global Logistics Network™ (GLN), the world’s largest logistics network enabling leading transportation providers to connect to their trading partners.
