Tailwind Management Systems Inc. is pleased to announce an electronic manifesting solution for their trucking company clients. The United States Customs (CBP) has been testing a new program for the electronic transmission of manifest data to all U.S. Customs border-crossing offices for truck shipments that are inbound to the United States. U.S. Customs officials have said the A.C.E. e-manifesting program will soon become mandatory.

Tailwind has partnered with Oceanwide Inc. to provide a viable e-manifest solution for truckers. Their truck e-manifest system has been approved by U.S. Customs, and it has been successfully field tested by transborder trucking companies. Tailwind's Carrier Management System will link with Oceanwide's e-manifest technology. This will enable Tailwind clients to be approved quickly for the United States e-manifest. Tailwind clients will save time by entering e-manifest data once only into Tailwind's user-friendly carrier management system. Oceanwide's software will edit the manifest data and then automatically transmit it to U.S. Customs.

Keith Retallack, business manager with Tailwind Management Systems Inc., said, "We feel truckers will begin to embrace e-manifest once they understand that e-manifest will reduce paperwork and costly delays at the border awaiting customs clearance."

Tailwind has selected Oceanwide as a partner because of their experience and ability to provide market-leading, low-cost, quality e-manifest solutions. Oceanwide has years of experience in providing automated air and ocean e-manifests for the transportation industry.
