C-TPAT Assessment Software

Integration Point C-TPAT Assessment Software provides a complete risk assessment, allowing companies to look at their entire supply chain to identify areas of highest risk and subsequently minimize or mitigate risks to the highest degree.
The Challenge In an effort to protect the vigorous trade industry, while also promoting security in trade across borders, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) offers a voluntary program, known as Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) to organizations that want to receive the benefits of reduced inspections, increased predictability and transparency, and amplified security throughout their supply chains. Companies who achieve C-TPAT certification must have a documented process for determining and alleviating vulnerabilities throughout their international supply chain. This allows companies to be considered low risk, resulting in expedited processing of their cargo, including fewer Customs examinations. Attaining C-TPAT certification, however, can be a complex, time-consuming and paper-intensive process. The Solution Due to its complexity, the decision whether or not to participate in the C-TPAT program is often based on the availability of manpower to manage the program, including soliciting information from suppliers, analyzing the responses, and maintaining the information. Integration Point C-TPAT Assessment Software simplifies management of the entire C-TPAT program, allowing companies to proactively prepare their applications, manage the program to maintain C-TPAT status, and meet requirements of CBPs recommended 5-Step Risk Assessment Process.
