PIERS provides our customers with the business intelligence to arm their executives, market analysts, sales professionals, and operations managers with critical intelligence on U.S. waterborne trade activity

How our customers use PIERS online import/export database

TO OBTAIN COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE
Our customers use U.S. customs data to monitor their competition’s activity - discovering new product shipments, competitors’ trade volumes, and transactions that can directly impact their business decisions.
TO CONDUCT MARKET RESEARCH
Shipping records can reveal potential opportunities in new markets. Our customers search foreign trade data to know who the players are in international commodity markets or in their own geographic region.
TO GENERATE SALES LEADS
PIERS enables our customers to search ocean freight data by commodity or by geographic region to lead them to new sales prospects. Integrated contact information gives our customers immediate access to leads.
TO IDENTIFY BUYERS AND SUPPLIERS
PIERS calculates fields such as estimated value, as well as volume traded and carrier information to let our customers make decisions that can directly impact their supply chains. Our customers can also use U.S. trade data to verify legitimate trade partners in foreign markets.
TO MONITOR CONTRACTUAL COMPLIANCE
Customers needing to track a specific transfer of goods can view bills of lading individually - ensuring that goods have been transferred as contracted - and helping them to avoid fraud or to detect suspicious activity.
