Speed
|
Fastest technology in the market executes searches and downloads in seconds
|
No other provider can match the ability of TradeIQ™ to return
results quickly. Some providers use antiquated technology while others'
servers reside far from the U.S. and customers
|
|
Data Accuracy
|
Exact, unabridged information from U.S. Customs manifests
|
Data is truncated and in some cases manipulated introducing human error. Others
attach subjective estimates and classifications not included in official trade data
|
|
Aggregate & Detailed Analysis
|
Both included within a unique interface that makes searching, reporting, and analysis
simple
|
Information only available at Bill of Lading level, making actual trade analysis
clumsy and time consuming
|
|
U.S. Census Trade Data
|
Included with TradeIQ™ Professional and Enterprise subscriptions, an $895 value
|
Not included from most providers, reducing the power of trade data
|
|
Ease of Use
|
Revolutionary. User can toggle through individual Bills of Lading, quickly view
lists by different data dimensions, and change parameters at any time
|
Restrictive. User must follow predetermined search paths and download data to view
full detail
|
|
Trending
|
At any time by day, month, quarter, or year
|
Not included, hindering the user's ability to spot changes and opportunities in their markets
|
|
House/Master Functionality
|
Choose House, Master, or both types of Bills of Lading to get the full picture of
your market
|
Some providers do not separate Bill of Lading types, creating hours of clean up,
while others do not expose Master Bills of Lading at all
|
|
Data Availability
|
Typically within 3-10 days of a shipment clearing U.S. Customs
|
Some providers are delayed up to 6 weeks past the day shipments clear Customs while
others misrepresent how up-to-date the data truly is
|
|
Historical Information
|
Data from January 1, 2003 through the present, the most in the industry
|
One to two years depending on subscription, extra historical data requires an additional
purchase
|
|
Customer Service
|
Industry leader with trade data experts that provide personalized trainings and
timely support
|
Limited. Some providers do not meet basic support expectations
|
|
Free Trial
|
Zepol invites users to experiment and use TradeIQ™. We have nothing to hide
|
No other provider advertises that it allows users to see their application before
they make a substantial investment in trade data
|
|
Pricing
|
Three simple subscription options that include all commodity categories, all history
from January 1st, 2003 through the present, and all trade lanes
|
Pricing is either so low that features are limited and do not compare to
TradeIQ™; or else, pricing is complex and difficult to understand
