PIERS maintains the most comprehensive database of timely, accurate, import and export information on the cargoes moving through ports in the U.S., Latin America, and Asia. PIERS collects data from over 42,000 bills of lading everyday — then translates the raw data into the kind of meaningful intelligence that companies around the world use to:
Find new suppliers, new markets and new business opportunities
Benchmark performance against the competition
Defend intellectual property against infringement and counterfeiting
Understand international trade trends and forecasts
Support strategic decision-making
Arbitrate trade disputes
With roots that go back to the 1827 founding of The Journal of Commerce, which remains one of the most respected news sources for global trade and transport, PIERS — the Port Import Export Reporting Service — is one of the pioneers in electronic information services.
Rely on PIERS for the information you need to compete globally — information you won't find anywhere else in the world.
