Who needs an import Order Management System?
If you import, you need an Import Management System, also known as an IMS.

A typical Purchase Order (PO) has a value of $50,000, involves 28 people, eight departments, seven business entities, and takes four months to complete. Without an IMS, this process is inefficient, opaque, and high risk. An IMS gives importers back the control they need to improve their processes, build in automation, and gain valuable insights that enable them to save time and money.
So why do you need an IMS?
Importing is a costly, time consuming, disconnected, and largely manual business. An IMS connects, automates, simplifies, and improves the entire process. The benefits are many, however the results are improved time to market, reduced costs, and increased sales.

About Mercado
At Mercado Labs, we know your product is the lifeblood of your business. And yet managing your imports has become increasingly complex over recent years, with products taking on average 5 months to receive, suppliers located thousands of miles away, and external forces – from trade wars to global pandemics – creating extreme uncertainty. Most of the process is analog and takes far too long. So we wanted to change that.
The Mercado platform helps importers to better manage their orders from source to store. By focusing on the First Mile – the initial 120 days of an order – we help businesses optimize their global trade, eliminating pain and mitigating risk across the supply chain.
