Today, long ocean voyages, fluctuating transportation costs, cross-border regulation, and extensive filing and documentation requirements combine to make global trade risky, volatile, and complex. New trade agreements are being put in place in one part of the world, while protectionism is increasing in another. Companies are forced to comply with ever-expanding and increasingly automated regulatory filings, including those for security and customs.

If you fail to manage this complex environment properly, you could face higher costs and greater risk in an already pressured supply chain – and that can put you at a significant competitive disadvantage.

The SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services application can help you reduce the cost and risk of international trade by ensuring compliance with global regulations, accelerating trade activity, and minimizing duties and landed cost.
