PIERS is the leading provider of import and export data at the detailed, bill-of-lading level – a heritage rooted in 40 years of amassing the industry's largest US waterborne trade data set. Every day, on average, the PIERS team processes close to 60,000 bills of lading that are filed with US Customs. Within hours of receipt, we verify, standardize, enhance, and load the data into our system so that the business can spend time on decisions rather than data collection. The PIERS team integrates this transactional trade data with standardized company details so the business can also identify imports and exports by company. In addition to US trade data going back to 2003, there is detailed import and export transactions for 14 international markets and trade statistics for more than 80 countries.
