The systems and methods described herein relate to managing transportation of loads of items within a retail supply chain. A unified load tracking system aggregates information from multiple supply chain computing systems for presentation on a user interface accessible by multiple users. One user interface provide access to a multitude of information that is interconnected by a common, unique identifier for each movement of a load between an origin and destination. A load board is also provided which automates the spot market auction process and load tender process between carriers and a retail enterprise transportation management system.

Load tracking computing platform and user interface

A computer-implemented method for complying with customs regulations for overseas shipments. The customs compliance systems and methods rely on current data to timely and accurately submit (or correct and resubmit) an 'Importer Security Filing' or 'ISF' to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection ('U.S. CBP') authority. In particular, the present systems retrieve (e.g., using various APIs) and rely on current data from the most accurate or up-to-date sources of such data. Moreover, each ISF record is handled independently, retrieving the current data as needed rather than in sequential, batched requests. As a result, errors and time for processing ISF submissions are reduced because accurate data is more readily and promptly available.

System for U.S. customs compliance for overseas importers

A computer-implemented method for processing invoices from overseas vendors and overseas carriers. The methods and systems retrieve (e.g., using various APIs) and rely on current data from the most accurate or up-to-date sources of such data, and then store the data in a single location as a 'single source of truth' for invoice data. As a result, errors and time for processing overseas invoices are reduced because accurate data is more readily and promptly available for reconciling discrepancies and paying the invoices.
