Overview

Tradegate is Australia's specialist international trade and transport e-commerce provider.

A not-for-profit organisation operating nationwide, Tradegate is driven by members for one purpose only: to advance the efficiency of import and export movements across Australian borders.

Every international air and seaport is a gateway to the world of trade. But behind the receipt of imports and the dispatch of exports lies a complex tangle of checks, balances and regulatory requirements. This extends from government agencies, through importers and exporters, carriers, service providers, terminal and facilities operators.

Players in the import/export industry have long looked to such technologies as electronic data interchange (EDI) and the Internet to speed up validation and authorisation processes and keep the flow of goods through borders and barriers as efficient as possible.

But it takes more than just technology to achieve that. Which is why Tradegate takes the use of such technologies several steps further.

Our organisation's charter is to free up the flow of information surrounding the dispatch and receipt of goods. Not just at each of Australia's international trade gateways, but at all of them.

We've built Smartrade, the operational platform for our products and services, to be as open as possible. It "talks" to virtually any payment, messaging and authorisation system. Making it easy and cost-effective for players large and small to leverage our nationwide network, from anywhere across Australia.

So when you join Tradegate, you'll gain access to proven standardised e-commerce applications. Tradegate offers a host of valuable support resources including strategic, technical and cost-benefit advice. Industry survey results, training and much more are also available.
