Companies need a “portal” that enables them to streamline their processes and organize their global transfer pricing documentation.

We have introduced Trans-Portal, a comprehensive solution with features designed to:

  • Organize global transfer pricing documentation
  • Collect data, perform research and analyze transfer pricing risks
  • Update transfer pricing documentation (Master and Local files) efficiently
  • Collaborate with colleagues across the globe to coordinate joint efforts

Trans-Portal’s purpose is to fulfill these fundamental needs. This intuitive, easy to use solution is designed to meet the market’s appetite for support to automate data collection; organize transfer pricing documentation such as the master file and local files, benchmarking studies and intercompany agreements; and manage transfer pricing risks. At the same time, Trans-Portal enables global teamwork both within the enterprise and with the company’s external service providers.
