The best and most efficient global screening tool available.
This tool is a key part of our semi-automated home grown export management system and has provided timely, accurate, and useful results to ensure we avoid dealing with restricted parties. In over 20 years, I have not found a better more user friendly product to accomplish this function.
PROSAs a user for over 20 years, the daily updates let me know I am always looking a current restricted party data. The audit feature helps me know how others are using it, and that they are using it, and the fuzzy logic helps me fine tune the level of screening breadth we can perform.
CONSAs an admin, I and each user get copied on each potential change to a previously reviewed party. Still I would rather have this feature than not, because it helps me track what is cycling through the screening contents.
Reason for choosing Descartes Denied Party Screening
Ease of installation, use, and capability to operate independent of other systems.
Reasons for switching to Descartes Denied Party Screening
We needed automation that increased our accuracy and speed of conducting screenings.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for the review, and for sharing your feedback on opportunities to improve. The issue you mention with respect to possible changes regarding previously screened parties can be optimized and configured within the User Interface. Please reach out to our Support Team if you would like to explore further.

Excellent Compliance Tool
Super positive experience with DVC. Our customer support rep is very responsive to our needs whether it is for a question or to run a batch screen. We have used it for 10 years.
PROSThe software is very easy to use and takes little time to screen parties. It is, by far, the most used compliance tool in our office. The commodity classification tool helps us classify unique items used and built on campus. We have batch screens that we run daily and annually; these are run and the results reported back to us quickly.
CONSThe searches tend to include too many items that are false positives (especially when using fuzzy screening), such as The Bruce Company will match to any person named Bruce.
Reason for choosing Descartes Denied Party Screening
It appeared to meet our needs at a price we could afford.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for the review, and for sharing your feedback on opportunities to improve. The issue you raise with respect to 'false positives' can be addressed by conducting our Search Tuning exercise with our Support team. Please feel free to connect with them at your convenience and they will be happy to help!

vc3 - rps screening tool
We need to review daily shipments with their VC3 screening tool. It was easily integrated with our current internal systems which make the ease of use a great tool. If we ever have any questions or concerns, their customer service team is quick to respond and resolve any concerns we may have.
PROSWe use this software daily and have been a customer for over 6 years. We have never had an issue with the software. It is easy to use and understand. Training new users in our company is very easy. A good reliable product.
CONSWe really do not have anything negative to say about this software product.
Reason for choosing Descartes Denied Party Screening
At the time, it was cost based, and reputation of the company.
Reasons for switching to Descartes Denied Party Screening
We did not have a great experience with their customer service, which made us look for another vendor when our contract was about to expire. Descartes affordable costs were a big part of our decision to make the switch, and we are glad we did

the quick result of No matches found/matches found is critical to our business. i also like the Schedule B/ECCN searches; very helpful.
PROSEase of use; Customer Service/[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is very responsive; the website is updated quickly as the regs change.
CONSbefore, i had to always type my username and password. that takes time when i'm logging in and i have an urgent shipment, and when things are in a rush, you tend to mistype more! :( I think you guys fixed it now, where my username is now remembered, and i just type the password. that saves users time during login, so please keep that feature on.

Descartes Denied Party Screening is Easy to Use!

PROSBy far, the Descartes Denied Party Screening's ease of use is its best feature. I insert all the required fields, and it rapidly performs the search, and provides results that I can print out for future audits.
