Shippers Safeguarded by Industry-Leading
Database of 590 Restricted Party Lists
Amber Road (NYSE: AMBR), a leading provider of global trade
management (GTM) solutions, announced today that Pilot Freight
Services, (Pilot), a worldwide provider of transportation and
logistics services, has gone live with Amber Road’s Export
On-Demand solution to automate the restricted party screening (RPS)
process.
In an era of heightened security, determining whether
individuals, companies or organizations are restricted from
conducting trade is essential. Exporters are responsible for
ensuring that they are compliant with changing government
regulations, and that their goods are not being sold to undesirable
entities.
Amber Road’s Export On-Demand solution provides a secure,
comprehensive method to automate the screening and hold resolution
process. It enables international shippers to quickly screen
customers, suppliers and other trading partners against over 590
lists from government institutions worldwide. In today’s fluid and
ever-changing environment, manually determining whether a partner,
customer or contact is designated a restricted party is
time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to errors.
“Amber Road was selected because it is the gold standard in
global trade compliance, so this partnership brings Pilot’s
compliance program to the next level,” said Chris Ashiotes, Pilot’s
VP, General Counsel & Secretary. “As Pilot continues to grow,
the company needs a solution that reduces risk by driving educated
decision-making, increases efficiency within its team, and
facilitates the continued development of its overall global trade
compliance program.”
The new system will enable Pilot Freight Services to perform
systematic and thorough restricted party screening on transactions
received on behalf of its customers. Amber Road streamlines the
screening process to check whether a trading partner has been
placed on any official denied persons or illegal trans-shipper
list, blocked from import or export transactions, or sanctioned by
a government for illegal acts such as involvement in international
terrorism, narcotics trafficking, money laundering or weapons
proliferation.
The solution uses intelligent algorithms and business rules that
help increase the accuracy of matches. The database is highly
maintained by Amber Road’s team of trade content experts. Updates
are usually made within 24 hours of any changes or additions and
pushed out to customers through the cloud platform.
“Pilot’s operations team has already realized the benefits from
using the solution, including increased productivity for better
managing restricted party screening by leveraging automation,” said
John Hill, Pilot’s President and Chief Commercial Officer. “We are
now able to greatly enhance our ability to safeguard our customers
and shield the company against potential compliance
violations.”
“The risks of non-compliance that these organizations face
include substantial fines, imprisonment, and brand damage,” said Ty
Bordner, SVP Marketing and Business Development, Amber Road. “The
quality of the data, in addition to the functionality in our
platform, provides an export management solution that can’t be
matched in the industry. Important customers like Pilot prove the
strength in all of our offerings.”
