Easily capture and manage export container and material quality photos
ciePhoto replaces your existing digital camera and allows users to take photos of outbound export containers or to document quality issues on received loads. The photos are automatically uploaded into the cieTrade database over any internet connection and attached directly to the appropriate load number, eliminating the time consuming task of manually managing hundreds of photos. ciePhoto can also reduce the number of lost photos since the images are uploaded from the device immediately after they are taken.

Takes and Uploads Photos
Photos are taken for each inbound trailer or outbound shipping container and are saved with a load or container number. Pictures for each load are then automatically uploaded to a cieTrade cloud where the images are automatically resized and adjusted.
Attaches to Load Numbers
Photos are automatically attached to their corresponding worksheet in cieTrade by matching up the container or load number.
Emails to Customers & Suppliers
The image attachments on loads (worksheets) in cieTrade can be emailed to customers along with booking documentation or to suppliers to handle claims
