1 Company Overview THE LEADER IN CLOUD-BASED GLOBAL TRADE MANAGEMENT

2 Global Trade is Fast The world of global trade is fast-paced, ever-changing, always evolving. In order to keep pace, your supply chain processes and technology need to evolve too. The processes during sourcing, transportation, and import/export are unique to every organization, consisting of multiple layers of suppliers, vendors, and service providers; each adding additional complexity and the accompanying tasks to move products across borders. As companies expand global operations to take advantage of cost savings in other regions, they are put under pressure to deliver the right product at the lowest price into the waiting hands of customers. To address this complex environment, organizations need to take a holistic, integrated approach to digitizing their supply chain to uncover four components of agility to keep pace: COLLABORATION AUTOMATION ANALYTICS FLEXIBILITY What companies are realizing is that many of the benefits derived from their finely tuned / optimized domestic supply chains are being cancelled out by their poorly performing global supply chain. Aberdeen Research The Digitized Supply Chain Digitization makes it possible to share (collaborate), process (automate), and analyze (analytics) the information. A digital model of the global supply chain creates the ability to quickly and easily adapt to the real world (flexibility). Digitizing global trade management (GTM) processes can be more closely aligned to business policies and objectives unlike traditional methods of outsourcing processes and/or managing disparate systems. Best-in-class companies have then challenged customary thinking of GTM being a cost of doing business, to finding cost saving opportunities in the logistics, legislation and financial functions.

3 Solutions Amber Road s comprehensive GTM suite enables goods to flow unimpeded across international borders in the most efficient, compliant and profitable way. Built from the ground up on a single code base, atop a single database schema, all capabilities operate in concert, seamlessly sharing data and leveraging a unified business process. Our GTM capabilities include: Your supply chain, networked. The single cloud-based global platform for: Speed Agility Collaboration The definition of global trade today is more than just international trade compliance. Companies need to look end-to-end to derive the most value from the digital platform they choose. With Amber Road you can assemble a solution that cuts across global sourcing, supply chain risk, logistics and trade compliance processes. We are powering the global operations of many of the most successful companies in the world, spanning every size, industry and region. Global Sourcing Risk & Quality Production Global sourcing provides for planning with suppliers earlier in the product lifecycle to reduce development time, lower sourcing risks, improve product quality and accelerate time-to-market. The functionality allows procurement professionals to gain a complete picture of overall landed cost, time to delivery, costing management, production tracking and compliance implications associated with each sourcing decision. The modules provide the ability to accurately determine and monitor that all trading partners are in compliance with ethical sourcing standards, and your products meet the regulatory safety and quality standards for each country where you sell. Through multi-enterprise integration, global organizations can improve visibility and supplier collaboration resulting in enhanced product testing and auditing processes. Our solution provides global organizations the ability to better leverage enterprise data for improved decision-making related to component and material development, product commercialization, and production milestones. These solutions increase the efficiency and agility of supply chains by improving on-time delivery and better aligning supply to the latest demand patterns, often saving millions of dollars by delaying final orders. Transportation Supply Chain Visibility Export Our solution provides a range of transportation management capabilities, including contract and rate management, carrier selection and booking, and comprehensive freight audit. Organizations and thirdparty providers are enabled to easily evaluate different freight options on international moves resulting in improved service levels and reduced global logistics costs. Through multi-mode shipment visibility functionality, importers and exporters are connected with their overseas suppliers, logistics providers, brokers, and carriers to ensure complete tracking and monitoring of the movement of goods. Amber Road has built a global trading network with pre-established connectivity to hundreds of trading partners and service providers. Our solution automates necessary export compliance checks and transactional functions including performing country-specific regulatory checks, screening for restricted parties, determining license requirements and tracking license usage, generating documents and filing. A centralized source of product information enables companies to conduct and manage compliance for each product, and for every variant of that product. Import Duty Global Knowledge Our import solution performs vital compliance, import control and business rules validations throughout the purchase order lifecycle, including product classification, admissibility review at multiple stages, Customs entry management, security filings and broker integration. The solution allows importers to adopt best-practice trade processes on a global level, have a centralized view of import compliance, and manage a diverse product portfolio. Our solution helps companies to simplify, automate and qualify for duty minimization programs, such as Free Trade Agreements, Free Trade Zones (FTZ), and China s General and Processing Trade programs. By automating and streamlining the supplier solicitation, qualification and certificate management processes for importers and exporters, Amber Road enables companies to take advantage of significant duty savings while minimizing the associated effort. The functional areas of the Amber Road platform are integrated with trade content to provide the highest levels of automation and accuracy.
