"We were up and running in no time at all." NVOCC Tariff Publisher manages all aspects of a rate tariff, including adding rates, updating rates and searching for rates. Using a maintenance process that is as easy to administer as sending an email, NVOCCs realize faster updates and more control over their rate tariff than using a third- party service. Management Dynamics also provides dedicated account managers that are ready to assist with any regulatory or publishing questions. NVOCC Tariff Publisher is delivered "on-demand," with secure access over the Internet from any office location. "The effort is the same," said Bill Davenport, corporate export manager for The Hipage Company. "We had been using a third-party tariff publishing service for years but discovered that with the same level of effort we could have better control, improve our accuracy, and reduce our costs." "We welcome our latest subscribers for NVOCC Tariff Publisher," said Management Dynamics president and chief operating officer John Preuninger. "These new sign-ups clearly illustrate how NVOCCs are maintaining compliance with FMC regulations and saving money and time by managing their tariff in- house."
