| Our
Mission | |
Internet has changed the way you do business today. Information Technology
(IT) gives you a great opportunity to streamline and rationalize the ways
of managing business. With a use of IT by the leading edge of Internet,
once systems get "connected" beyond boundaries, you can maximize
the values of systems as available at anywhere, in any form and at anytime.
Such boundaries may be physical or logical ones that are present among
business systems in the form of data, operating system and many others.
They may be occurring within your organization, with customers and to trading
partners. And even languages used in human communication would be a challenge.
For your global system projects ex Japan, our past experiences to develop
a global business system in U.S. would surely help your tasks. Whatever
they may be, our mission is to have your business system resources get
"connected" in local as well as around the globe and to make
them more effective, productive and efficient. This is what we wish to
deliver through our efforts to
Make
Your Systems Work Without Boundaries.

BAL offers a web-based transaction service

with Ocean Commerce who represents DSG as its sales agent
in Japan, we support customers with our technical expertise
in addition to our marketing/sales activities. Descartes Systems

Forwarders and Ocean Carriers in particular as well as the

In addition to the U.S.
Security Filing by ACE or AMS Filing before, on March 10,
2014 has marked the final step in Japan’s Ocean Advance
Filing Rules (AFR-JP24) implementation. Since that time, filers
around the globe are now required to send data to Japan Customs
or face potential penalties where Descartes Systems is fully
ready and available to service all such customers. Descartes
customers were among the first to move into compliance and
successfully submit thousands of messages in the first week
alone. As a pioneer in the field of regulatory compliance,
Descartes was also the first logistics technology provider
to work with the Nippon Automated Cargo and Port Consolidated
System (NACCS) Center to electronically submit manifest information
to Japan Customs.

information systems to overseas, we offer consulting services
to clients who are in need of streamlining and standardizing
business systems worldwide including Japan. The migration
of business information system, i.e. applications and
system platform from Japan to overseas and v.v., would
be a challenge. It may not be an easy task to secure qualified
system analysts and engineers with a good command of English
in Japan. And, it may be a few who are well versed in
English communication with good knowledges and experiences
on computer systems. This is where our consulting services
may be of your assistance.
