TRADE NET SYSTEM, VER 2.0.
Client : SNS(Singapore Network Services) Pte. Ltd., Singapore
Agent : BITECH International Pte Ltd.
Description :

The Trade Net System is composed of Declaration Clearance System(DCS) and the Permit Processing System(PPS). It is E-Commerce project for Trader who is involved in IMPORT or EXPORT business. The DCS system is primarily a clearing house ensuring that incoming messages conform to EDIFACT standards while the PPS system validate message based on criteria mapped out by TDB. Hence, PPS is basically a TDB system running on SNS machine. Message is validated and if goods are Dutiable then interaction with Customs and Excise Department is also required.
The objectives of Trade Net System is to :
1. Improve the competitiveness of traders by enabling faster clearance of goods.
2. Eliminate and lower costs in document processing.
3. Eliminate time wasted by traders in going to various organizations.
4. Reduce data redundancy.
The DCS system runs on the IBM machine in both CICS & batch mode and is developed on COBOL language. It consists of five components, i.e., Message Processing (interface with IBM/IE and run in CICS environment), Online Enquiry to CIS database (developed on CSP tools), File Maintenance and Database housekeeping(VSAM files and DB2 database are used), DCS Mailbox Allocation(MQ Series & VSAM files are used) and Statistical Reports(Using JCL and Easytrieve).
The PPS system runs on the IBM machine in both CICS & batch mode and is developed on COBOL language. It also consists of similar components to DCS system. But here main validations according to TDB requirements are done. Here lot of COBOL & DB2 programs runs. There is interaction with CUSTOMS and CA systems through MQ series. Here only Permits or rejected Status are generated and send to Trader.
In this project we have two types of front Ends. One without Web is created on VB and with Web in Java. This project is latest of its own which follows UN standard.
