  • Publication number: 20090089113
    Abstract: The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for market generation and matches of importation and exportation procurement, logistics, and payment transactions; i.e., a cross-border Facilitator (hereinafter “Facilitator”). Through its various components, the cross-border Facilitator creates new markets by generating and facilitating three stages of a cross-border trade transaction: identification, selection and execution. In one embodiment, the Facilitator manages the transaction by: creating a transaction “template” based on transaction information (i.e., HS product code, ISO country code, etc), alerting the buyer to potential problem areas, and updating of important upcoming dates and actions. The Facilitator creates all the required documents, integrates all events, including the service providers, and allows both parties to track the status of the transaction on-line at any time.
