Solution Insight: SAP Global Trade Services (GTS)

Organisations that trade globally have to juggle the import and export processes of their goods across dozens of different customs, compliance processes and a range of duties. This is further complicated when the cross-border supply processes are managed manually or through brokers, and master data is incomplete. SAP GTS helps automate cross-border supply chains by automating and streamlining the trade processes. This allows organisations to control costs, ensure tariff and duty payments are accurate and reduce the risk of fines and penalties whilst clearing customs much faster.
