PRESS RELEASE AVIALL SELECTS eCUSTOMS' EXPORT COMPLIANCE SOLUTION TO ENSURE WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION COMPLIANCE Buffalo, N.Y. — Ensuring that compliance with stringent export laws occurs effectively at any company is a challenge in itself. But when it involves more than 200 salespeople spread around the world marketing and distributing literally hundreds of thousands of hi-tech items every day, the challenge can be daunting. That's why Aviall, Inc. turned to eCustoms' powerful, Web-based export compliance solution, with its range of advanced, automated compliance resources, including Restricted Party Screening (RPS), Controlled Goods Analyst and extensive libraries of reference materials such as rules, regulations and Federal Register notices. Aviall is a leading solutions provider of aftermarket supply chain management services for the aviation and marine industries. Its main division, Aviall Services, is the world's largest independent provider of new aviation parts and related aftermarket services. It markets and distributes approximately 400,000 catalogue items to more than 17,500 government/military, commercial and general aviation operators from 37 customer service centers in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Its global sales force consists of well in excess of 200 people. Aviall has taken a proactive approach to export compliance over the years. In the past, this was achieved by senior salespeople acting on relevant information received via multiple computer terminals across the company's global network linked to appropriate U.S. Government websites. The organization's Dallas headquarters also issued regular advisories and updates. The company recently took the decision to increase the level of corporate security and accountability by implementing the eCustoms' Enterprise Integration Module™ (EIM), which performs the RPS screening process automatically and continuously over the Internet, as directed by Aviall's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. "With the EIM system, the screening is still triggered at the order point wherever it occurs around the world," said Waylan Conley, Aviall Services Government Compliance Administrator. "But now multiple, real-time screening is consolidated through Dallas where our mainframe server is located and where all orders run through. If there is a match, the order is put on hold so that further checks can be performed by us at a central point in the organization." Conley added: "Because of eCustoms' screening abilities, our company has greatly reduced the risk of selling or shipping to any denied entity, and in turn, reduced the risk of any export violation or government seizure." "EIM™ provides a means for our suite of automated trade management solutions to interoperate across the different programming languages, platforms and operating systems currently used by a variety of clients," said Marc Roy, Vice-President of Global Business and Solution Development at eCustoms. "The strength of EIM™ lies in its batch screening ability and the fact that it facilitates automatic real-time restricted party screening via an online conduit between any point in a client's ERP system and eCustoms' database servers." eCustoms provides powerful automated solutions that help companies involved in global trade achieve compliance rapidly in the short term and continuously over the long term. These solutions include export and import documentation, electronic submissions to Customs, NAFTA management, tariff classification, Restricted Party screening, ECCN analysis, export license determination, usage audit reporting, and export license application, submission and post approval management.
