Firm sees benefits in global trade management SAP xApp
Firm sees benefits in global trade management SAP xApp: "The Foster City, Calif.-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology company ships low volumes of very expensive products, such as robotics, DNA sequencing tools, and lab devices. The company, which is using SAP on Oracle databases, chose SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) software as part of a plan to lower its total cost of compliance by outsourcing some trade activities, according to Leighton E. Yates, a senior manager in global trade compliance with Applied Biosystems.
But cost savings and automation cannot be handled with a single composite application, Yates said. Before implementing any software to automate global trade processes, companies should conduct an audit to understand the weakest and strongest trade areas. "
