Creating and Processing UNeDocs
‘Digital Paper’ Transport & Export Documents
Why Use UNeDocs?
In today's global economy, trade depends on the rapid exchange of goods, money and services; which in turn
depends on the exchange of information. Goods can move no faster than the documents that describe them - and
consignment delays are more often caused by delayed documents than for any other reason. And yet, until now, the
international trading market has not been able to exchange information electronically as freight forwarders-importers,
Governments, Banks and Traders use vastly different, incompatible computer systems. Instead, the core
information exchange is carried out through traditional paper systems. And the UN estimates that this is costing
trade a staggering $0.5 trillion per year. UNeDocs are set to change all this....
UNeDocs will be similar to the existing SITPRO SAD, FIATT forms that we are all familiar with and will still be
printable to paper - however they will be created in XML - eXtensible Mark-up Language - the new language of the
web which is facilitating other major advances in e-commerce. UNeDoc’s will not only be deliverable by email or
a secure extranet link, but with a little help from an XML interface like LaserNet the information content can be
captured and automatically uploaded to any IT application without the need for manual input. And this is what
all the excitement is about. By allowing document information to be passed electronically, costs will be
dramatically reduced at every link in the supply chain. Even more importantly cross border procedures will be
accelerated which in turn will reduce supply and payment cycles. And that has to be good news for everyone.
How LaserNet XML helps Creating UNeDocs:
LaserNet XML interface provides easy to use tools that simplifies the process of transforming
legacy data, or standard XML into valid XML UNeDocs for electronic transmission via any existing email or
intranet, extranet web-link.
Creating printable UNeDocs:
LaserNet provides an inexpensive solution for both the receiver and sender to convert XML files into printable
documents.
Importing & Processing UNeDocs:
LaserNet automatically converts UNeDocs into the XML or CSV format that your application can readily accept. In
other words with LaserNet virtually all IT applications can be 'tuned' to receive UNeDocs, without the need for
expensive application changes.
