Challenges Consequences

Limited intermodal systems & capabilities

Poor road network & inland logistic

infrastructure: reduced road capacity, unreliabledeliveries, increased cost Congestion around ports, cities, industrial zones

& border

Poor physicalInfrastructure,

long transit times &frequent road

accidents

Ageing truck fleet and broken rail cars

Added expenses to reposition assets (e.g. ) Insufficient truck control & uncoordinatedgating/pickup

Wasted fuel & high-carbon environmentalpollution

Sub-optimal utilizationof transportation

assets & personnel

Inability to manage performance of assets &personnel

No data to guide policy & strategic decisions Poor planning & investment from lack of

data/metrics

Limited oversight,reporting &

performance metrics


5/28

Challenges Consequences

Poor coordination between transport providers& terminals/depots

Delays through physical inspection byCustoms stifles trade

Pilferage/diversion adds to cargo costs &reduces service-level to customer

Poor chain-of-custody & asset trackingmechanisms

Poor visibility into

cargoes &transportation

assets

High instance ofphysical Inspection

Non-compliance with government & industryregulations results in process delays & addedfees.

Lack of safety enforcement & certification forvehicle and operators

Delays in clearance processes & corruption

Too many checkpoints along transit routes

Lack of standards& regulations; Non-

compliance withgovernment &industry

regulations


6/28

Understanding Inefficiencies in the Supply Chain

High incidence of physical inspection by Customs Poor cargo arrival, discharge & release planning

Manual handling of import/export processes

Entry/Exit Points:

+ Seaports

+ Airports

+ Borders

Poor road & rail network... Poor state where exist Low adoption of inland container depots (ICD)

Uncoordinated movement of transport assets

Transport service providers are not well organized

Inland Transportation& Logistic Systems

Limited risk screening, valuation & reporting ability

Increased dwell-time, hampers trade facilitation &adversely impacts supply chain security

Poor cargo & asset transit monitoring

Risk & RegulatoryCompliance Screening

Infrastructure Realities


8/28

Goods Movement in Ports, Cities & Inland Corridors

Freight traffic is necessary evil

Trucks have out-sized impact ontraffic congestion: 3-4x

Increased pollution &environmental degradation

Safety and security concerns Limited rail options

Expanded physical infrastructure

not always possible, sufficient

but Addressable universe with

underlying processes & ICT

Authorities to regulate

Available win-win propositions

Compelling Results

Enables single, consistent data usage and validation

Improves visibility & reduces discretion

Reduces clearance times by 50% or more

Facilitates real-time collaboration between agencies on

admissibility decisions

Motivates performance improvements in both the

public and private sector

With improved physical infrastructure,

process issues become the bottleneck


15/28

Target Resources: Risk Screening & Valuation

Premise:

Large percentage of imports are compliant

Focus on & isolate violative imports based on defined risk criteria

Expedite import clearance & reduce delays

Enforce compliance & detect declaration fraud

Risk targeting for enforcement & security activities

Revenue, Security, Intelligence

Standards & Product Safety

Vehicle, Load, Road Safety

Optimizing other operational decisions & reporting

17/28

Fewer items are held for review

Field reviews and lab tests find

more violations

Efforts more productive

Greater product safety


More goods get to market

faster

Less FDA work


Field reviews and lab tests find

more violations

Enormous returns to the public

US$25 million/year more tocatch same number of

violations without PREDICT

Better products reach

markets more quickly atlower cost

Drive Efficiency: Maximize & Control Assets

Operational objectives:

Minimize unproductive movements & waiting Relocate activities, including waiting, from congested areas

Integrate multimodal capabilities

Organize transportation providers for efficiency

Integrate across trade & logistic communities and regulators

Distinct techniques:

Implement Truck Control & Border Transit Solutions Reduce checkpoints

Integrate transporters with terminals/Customs Expand use of Inland facilities

Enable messaging for release, dispatch & border notification Enforce transportation standards

Use data to drive investment and policy decisions


20/28

Controls movement of trucks from 5 entry pointson road network reaching 39 specificdestinations including 13 terminals

Over 175 trucking companies with nearly 10,000trucks use the system

Several truck parks with capacities varying from

150 to 400 trucks Hundreds of concurrent users request permits,

log events & receive instructions from thesystem

Existing infrastructure at terminals (A.P. Moeller)& other destinations incorporated into TCS

Captures events at very low cost from RFIDreaders deployed to monitor truck movements
