The CGI Trade360 platform is comprised of a corporate portal, an efficient back-office trade processing system with sophisticated imaging and workflow, an advanced reporting utility, and an XML-based integration architecture.

CGI Trade360’s traditional trade functionality, including letter of credit and collections, represents experience gained from nearly 30 years of supporting more than 40 major banks globally.

Its open account functionality includes payables functionality that enables buyers to facilitate bank-assisted open account processing (with or without matching), end-to-end approved payables financing (reverse factoring) and payment, trade loans, invoice payments, and extended financing.

Integrated payables was delivered in 2014 and will be supported by purchase order or invoice host-to-host integration and portal uploads.

CGI Trade360’s open account functionality also includes receivables functionality for sellers to facilitate pre-shipment financing, receivables financing, integrated receivables (payment/invoice matching and financing), trade loans, and rollover financing. These are supported by invoice host-to-host integration and portal uploads.
