Integration Point C-TPAT Assessment Software

The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certification program is a voluntary program offered by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to organizations that want to receive the benefits of reduced inspections, increased compliance and amplified security throughout their supply chains. Gaining C-TPAT certification can be a time-consuming and paper-intensive process.

Due to this complexity, the decision for an organization on whether or not to participate in the C-TPAT program is often based on the availability of manpower to solicit information from suppliers, organize the responses, and maintain the information. Integration Point C-TPAT Assessment Software can help take some of the complexity out of the process.
