Shipping Solutions Export Compliance Module Online Access
On: March 1, 2016 | By: Lisa Nemer | 2 min. read
Shipping Solutions Professional includes an Export Compliance Module where you can run restricted party screenings, find out what export documents are required for different countries, and find out if your products may require an export license.
This works great for the person completing the export documents who has the Shipping Solutions export software loaded on their computer. But what about others in your organization who may need to be concerned with export compliance?
For example, salespeople may want to run a preliminary restricted party screening on a potential customer from anywhere in the world. Receptionists may be responsible for running screenings on a visiting foreign national before they get a tour of your facility. A marketing department might like to see if a product can be shipped without a license to a certain country. And determining who is going to complete which export documents could be part of negotiating a sales contract.
However, it may be too expensive to load Shipping Solutions on the computers of every salesperson, marketer and receptionist in the company, especially if they are only going to be using the Export Compliance Module in Shipping Solutions.
But, there is another option! The Export Compliance Module is also available as an online screening subscription. The online subscription gives you access to the same tools as the Export Compliance Module in Shipping Solutions. However, instead of needing the software on your computer, you access the screening tools through the Shipping Solutions website. Access can be shared by any number of people in your company with the exception that only one person can be logged in at a time.
Shipping Solutions users who have an active Annual Maintenance Program (AMP) subscription can add the online subscription service for only $650 per year. To see how the online screening tool works, watch the restricted party screening or export license determination videos on our website. And watch the Export Compliance Module video to learn more about the tool in Shipping Solutions.
If you have any questions or wish to purchase an online screening subscription, give me a call at 651-905-1727.
