QuestaWeb, Inc. (www.questaweb.com), a premier provider of web-native, integrated global trade management software solutions, announces that Masterpiece International Ltd., a U.S. customs broker, international freighter forwarder and logistics provider, went live with QuestaWeb software a year ago. Since implementation, QuestaWeb’s customs brokerage, freight forwarding, importer and exporter technology have enabled Masterpiece to comply with the diverse regulations a full-service provider faces and meet the unique requirements associated with the specialty services for which the firm is known and trusted. And, QuestaWeb technology allowed Masterpiece to do so during the implementation of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), keeping the firm ahead of scheduled milestones.
With 16 offices in the United States, Masterpiece International Ltd. is a major provider, moving goods of every kind globally. Masterpiece specializes in transporting works of art and antiquities; television and film production equipment and orchestras; and yachts, automobiles, oil, food products and general commodities through its many operating divisions, including its NVOCC, Multimodal International Shipping, Inc.

James Prudente, Controller and Director of IT for Masterpiece International Ltd., said, “QuestaWeb’s technology has always been ahead of its time. QuestaWeb had the vision to develop a web-based product before any other firm, and QuestaWeb led the way when it came to ABI connectivity and ACE initiatives. Today, QuestaWeb’s robust, web-native platform offers major benefits regarding how transactions are stored and data transmitted. Plus, having a single database gives us the flexibility to meet specialized requirements that traditional brokers do not face. Most important, QuestaWeb’s solutions integrated easily with our internal customized software, allowing us to perform both our routine and specialized tasks in one system.”
