MaxeTrade Bureau Services                                                                          

A central point to allow small, medium and large businesses access to a sophisticated electronic trade and transport service.

MaxeTrade is a joint venture between Tradegate Ltd and the Peak User Association for Electronic Commerce in Australia. Tradegate is a unique organisation. It is a not-for-profit, non-government, user organisation, headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Its foremost role is to facilitate the use of electronic commerce techniques for the exchange of information between customers and their suppliers. It does this by bringing together all of the different types of organisations involved in each supply chain so that a common agreed strategy can be developed and implemented using the relevant international standards.

Developed by and outsourced to Max eCommerce, the bureau links an umbrella of services together and facilitates the sharing of details between them. This dispenses with the need to re-key data already held in any one of the services. Those services are;

Export Documentation, Customs Export Declarations and Logistics Management

• A web-based service allowing exporters, packers, agents, and carriers (road, rail and sea) to cost effectively and to simplify the creation and exchange of critical export and logistics documents.
• ExportNet™ is a Tradegate initiative which acts as an industry shared data hub allowing consignment information to be moved amongst the many parties involved in the export process.
• ExportNet™ allows data to be aggregated between users in the export chain so as to eliminate the paper and re keying from the transport document phase of international trade!
• Integration of Exit 1 now means that users can get Export Declarations from Customs and combine that information with booking confirmations to create Forwarding Instructions and Export Receival Advices.
• ExportNet™ can accommodate any number of export documentation flows; one possible scenario is illustrated below.

ExportNet produces these electronic documents:

• Booking

MaxeTrade Code Repository

"The repository provides the trade and transport industry with a standard set of codes to effectively meet statutory and commercial reporting requirements. " Paul Zalai - Freight & Business Operations Manager, Customs Brokers & Forwarders Council of Australia Inc.

In August 2001, Tradegate ECA and the Victorian Department of State and Regional Development (DSRD - now DIIRD) released a co-funded report - "Codes Used in Maritime Trade and Transport Industries in Australia". The report (prepared by Phillip Walsh of Philma Enterprises), called for a full review of all code tables used in international trade and for the establishment of a repository to house the relevant code tables. This website service is an outcome of the National Code Repository Project and has been developed by Tradegate ECA in collaboration with the Integrated Logistics Network (ILN) and Australian Freight Councils Network (AFCN) with funds provided by Tradegate ECA and the Commonwealth Department of Transport and Regional Services (DOTARS).

This project was developed by Max eCommerce on a Microsoft. Net platform and is also hosted and supported by Max eCommerce on a Business Services Outsourcing basis.
