Electronic links with trading partners
April 1st 2004

New from ATMS is HostedHub, a new system with RFID capability to help its customers link electronically with trading partners around the world.

With HostedHub ATMS takes total care of everything from initial agreement of tag standards and messaging standards, through to round the clock support and maintenance.

HostedHub provides full traceability particularly important for companies wishing to comply with the latest EC legislation and supports the generation and tracking of RFID tags, including smart labels and passive tags. Full support is provided for the up and coming EPC standards for RFID.

The modular system incorporates a Web-based track and trace function, as well as traditional EDI and XML messaging. The forthcoming AS/2 communications standard is also supported. ATMSs certified SAP interface is available to link directly to existing SAP systems.

Another important module is Duty Management, the combination of electronic tags and electronic Customs documentation. This is seen by many as the ultimate solution to eliminating expensive and potentially inaccurate paperwork and clerical tasks, while allowing the user to defer payment of tax as long as possible.

Further modules are available to link to parcel carriers, transport companies, transport management systems, in-vehicle and in-cab systems.
