Case Study
ABB Improves Strategic Supply and Demand Chain Management with Amber Road
We are legally compliant, which enables us to avoid penalties while supporting our efforts to ensure correct and ethical business and upholding our commitment to integrity. And, very importantly, this enables us to apply for and maintain an AEO status.

ABB, a leader in power and automation technologies, needed to streamline their global trade management processes. The company had become increasingly globalized, resulting in more complexity for their supply and demand chains. ABB implemented Amber Road's Trade Planner and Trade Wizards solutions. Trade Planner allows the company to explore different supply chain scenarios that take into account total landed costs, export and import regulations, and preferential trade agreements. Meanwhile, the Trade Wizards application backs up ABB's restricted party screening efforts, and ensures that documentation and legal requirements are met.
By implementing Amber Road’s solutions, ABB was able to:
-
Increase awareness and utilization of preferential customs tariffs
-
Generate quotations for all modes of transport and Incoterms faster and more accurately
-
Improve visibility into total landed costs
-
Integrate trade compliance considerations into logistics processes
