Shippers are well aware of the compliance burdens that importing and exporting place on their business. Most are also aware that there are tools to help them automate the time-consuming tasks associated with meeting those regulatory burdens. However, shippers of all sizes need a game plan to help them decide whether they need a Global Trade Management (GTM) system, and then what type of system is best for their organization.
American Shipper discovered in 2014 that more than half of importers, and roughly a quarter of exporters, don’t use a system of any kind to handle their compliance processes. When it comes to selecting a GTM software solution, many businesses are overwhelmed with where to start. It takes time, preparation and internal reflection to determine which solution will best meet your company’s needs.
To help you with this onerous decision-making process, download American Shipper’s 2015 Global Trade Management Landscape Report: What You Should Know About Selecting a GTM Vendor, to serve as a desk reference for selecting the right GTM solution.
