Key benefits

Improving efficiency

Boost productivity by automating time-consuming, manual tasks for global trade management and compliance.

Validate every order against the latest compliance regulations to reduce the risk of fines and penalties.

Key features

Sanctioned party list (SPL) screening

Support sanctioned party list screening across sales, finance, HR, procurement, and distribution. If a transaction fails a check, the software blocks it for immediate review. Work lists enable efficient processing of blocked documents, and user-friendly workflows escalate questionable entries.

Export management

Connect with core logistics processes and multiple government customs systems to help ensure compliant and efficient export management. You can also support product classification, sanctioned party list screening, export license management and determination, and embargo screening.

Import management

Integrate procurement and inbound logistics and support product classification, sanctioned party list screening, and permit and customs management. You can also carry out importer security filings and connect to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Automated Broker Interface.

Real-time compliance checks

Enable real-time compliance checks and controls. Integration with order and shipment processes supported by SAP Business Suite applications helps you keep compliance-related data – and your products – moving as quickly as possible.

Support for special customs procedures

Meet customs requirements, such as foreign trade zones, processing trade in China, bonded warehousing, settlement for inward processing and processing under customs control, Intrastat, and the Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS).

Accelerated application data analysis

Use SAP HANA as the primary database for SAP Global Trade Services. Through in-memory computing technology, the database helps accelerate application data analysis with tools including data modeling, data and lifecycle management, and security.
