SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services

LOWER THE COST AND RISK OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE

To conduct business globally, you need to comply with local laws, satisfy trade security measures, meet documentation requirements, understand complicated tariffs, and coordinate various parties. Handling these tasks manually increases the risk of failure – which can be costly when trading across borders. In fact, the inefficient administration of customs processes accounts for 7% of the cost of international trade, according to a United Nations study – U.S. $420 billion annually.

Lower Cost and Risk of International Trade while Streamlining Processes

With the SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services application helping to support international expansion of your business, you can lower the cost and reduce the risk of conducting business globally. By enabling you to establish a single, corporate-wide standard for trade processes across SAP and non-SAP systems, SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services helps ensure reliable and compliant trade activities.

The application provides a comprehensive platform for managing all foreign trade processes. Centralised management ensures trade compliance, expedited cross border transactions, and optimum utilisation of trade agreements – replacing high-maintenance manual processes and providing one global view of trade across your enterprise.
