Where Planning Meets Execution

Every step is systematized with clearly defined relationships across multiple dimensions.  This creates a plan/expectation at every point in the inbound process to measure against, enabling the outcome everyone wants: managing by exception.

Comprehensive Process Control

Your import process is extensive and requires an equally broad platform. 3rdwave manages the entire lifecycle of your shipments, from Pre-shipment to Destination.  It also manages the customs
compliance for ISFs, Entries, and PGAs.

Real-Time Enhanced Visibility

3rdwave is natively integrated with carriers (ocean, air, and rail) and terminals to get the latest shipment updates. It easily connects to other carriers (like drayage services) and forwarders to get the most information into the platform and enable the best decisions.

Pervasive Product-Level Visibility

3rdwave creates product-level visibility throughout your organization across many dimensions. The Product is a central organizing object, enabling the distribution of shipment costs, date management, duty calculations, and CO2 tracking.

Integrated Freight
Contracts

Planning and executing is incomplete without understanding the cost implications of the decisions you need to make. Freight contracts seamlessly integrated into both the planning and execution modules enable you to plan for cost implications and then measure during execution.

Evolve Your
Transportation Folder
Most organizations still use hardcopy folders with checklists to aggregate trade documentation and dates, passing them among internal functions as part of the import process to instill systematic validation and control.  By design, the 3rdwave platform transports you into the digital age, eliminating the folder while making information available to all stakeholders.

Intelligent Alerting

Carrier and terminal status updates are integrated with 3rdwave’s comprehensive planning capability, creating an alerting environment that filters out the noise to develop real visibility, proactivity, and responsiveness.

Get alerted to the following:

  • When critical shipments will miss their in-warehouse dates.

  • When you incur incremental costs like demurrage and detention.

  • When you need to file ISFs and Customs entries.

  • When bookings haven’t been made.

  • When documents haven’t been received.

  • And MUCH more!
