Launched in October 2007, TradeXchange® provides a neutral and secure IT platform that enables seamless exchange of information within the trade and logistics community. This multi-party collaboration platform will provide greater operational efficiencies and clearer visibility to businesses across the supply chain.
The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) is issuing a Call-for-Collaboration (CFC) to invite companies in the trade and logistics sectors to form consortia to integrate its key trade and logistics IT systems, business processes and data through TradeXchange®.
By integrating the IT systems, business processes and data through TradeXchange®, it is envisaged that the businesses will enjoy greater operational efficiencies, clearer supply chain visibility, faster shipment turnaround and productivity due to more timely exchanges of information and documents across their partners in the value chain. To the IT service providers, TradeXchange® will provide a one-stop connection hub to enable them to expand their service offerings and provide a more efficient end-to-end solution to their customers.
Details of the CFC and Public Briefing are available on the TradeXchange® website www.tradexchange.gov.sg after 27 March 2009. A Public Briefing was held on 7 April 2009 at 2.00 pm and submissions will close on 15 June 2009, 5:00pm.
IDA will be extending the deadline for the submission of proposals to 15 July 2009, 5.00pm.
