Centrade
What it is
Centrade is cloud-based global trade management software for coordinating international supply chains. It serves shippers, carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and logistics service providers through web access and APIs. ShipLens tracks shipments from origin to destination with dates, locations, statuses, and history, while storing supply-chain and U.S. Customs records such as bills of lading, packing lists, certificates of origin, and arrival notices. It also supports partner messaging, exception alerts, and notifications. Orderchain provides SKU-level visibility across purchase orders and containers. Tradekey gives vendors a portal for information, compliance documents, routing guides, packaging requirements, factory and labor guidelines, and electronic pick-and-pack workflows. Advanced Analytics reports on on-the-water inventory, landed cost per unit, and carrier and forwarder performance, using Sisense data features for customized displays. ERP integration, REST APIs, and CargoWise and Descartes pre-integrations are listed.
