For many companies, the supply chain is their lifeblood and can commonly hold millions of dollars worth of cargo at any given time. With this much value passing through the hands of third parties, it is vital that cargo arrive at its destination safely and on-time.

Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification are important steps companies can take to improve security throughout their supply chain. However, many companies struggle with the mandates for the collection, assessment and reporting of Business Partner risks to comply with C-TPAT and AEO regulations. To help streamline these efforts, First Advantage is pleased to introduce Supplier Compliance Manager®, a groundbreaking, Web based software tool designed to facilitate, automate and expedite your organization’s C-TPAT and AEO compliance.

With increased threats of terrorism, piracy and theft, heightened security measures at ports and borders, and the rigorous standards for C-TPAT/AEO compliance, good information and careful planning are essential to getting your cargo quickly and safely from one country to another. Manufacturers, insurers and the freight-forwarding industry turn to the innovative supply chain risk management services offered by First Advantage.
