In the current business environment due to a.o. the Covid-19 situation, the China-US trade war, new trade barriers, a robust Global Trade management is crucial in order to ensure the continuity of the Supply Chain. Many companies are facing challenges when importing/exporting into more international markets through different sales channels and related parties. Companies are reviewing the Global Trade Management function due to factors such as:

  • China – US trade war
  • Trade disputes
  • Trade barriers
  • Digitization of customs authorities
  • Increased complexity of the supply chain
  • Cargo screening
  • Changing business models and moving towards more direct end markets
  • Import/export security

Many companies are seeing an increase in the Global Trade Management complexity but do not have the right organization, processes and systems in place to cope with this increased complexity. This can lead towards loss of competitiveness, lower profit margins, but also towards significant risks and severe penalties in case of non-compliance. Moreover, the focus of many companies is typically set towards compliance rather than adding value to the supply chain or the overall business.
