Are you concerned that your current trade compliance processes aren't benefiting your business as much as they should?

Lots of firms perform traditional customs audits, but EntryPoint is unique in our focus on your Trade Compliance Performance. 

Using our background in business improvement, the EntryPoint Global Trade Practice will evaluate your company's current trade compliance environment and provide a plan to greatly improve both the level of compliance and its benefit to your company. This includes: 

• The processes, automation options, business structure and deployment plan needed to reach a new level of compliance performance.
• Creation of a business case for enacting these improvements based on the benefits in cost reduction, supply chain improvement, risk avoidance and customer satisfaction.

Are you concerned about the cost and risk of your manual processes?

SAP's GTM solution, Global Trade Services (GTS), is the undisputed market leader in GTM compliance.  It provides automation for the regulatory control, document generation, customs communication and duty minimization related to imports and exports from and to any country. 

Our GTS Test Drive will integrate a fully functional version of GTS to your SAP ERP system in less than one week and with little effort on your part.  Unlike our competitors, EntryPoint lets you go beyond sales demos and second-hand opinion to first-hand experience with the full product.

Once GTS is in place, you will be given the expert guidance and the unconstrained opportunity to use GTS to screen your business partners, classify your products, and ensure your shipments take place under the proper license authority.  You'll have 30 days to test-drive the system on your own time, using your own data and guided by our GTS team. Only EntryPoint offers this unique service.

Are you concerned that budget or IT requirements could inhibit your deployment of GTS?

A traditional deployment of any GTM solution requires you have a budget for the software, hardware and the cost of implementation.  This kind of deployment often requires a great deal of your IT team's effort and coordination.

EntryPoint provides an alternative to this traditional deployment by providing GTS as a subscription-based service, Global Trade on Demand.  After you arrange for the software license from SAP, EntryPoint covers all other deployment costs in exchange for a low monthly fee.  EntryPoint provides hosting, deployment, maintenance of trade content and regulations and full user support.  We make it simple to get your company compliant. 

Are you concerned about finding highly-skilled, well-priced consultants for your GTS deployment?

Unlike many of its GTM competitors, GTS provides an exceedingly flexible architecture.  This flexibility allows GTS to support any of the world's trade regulations, but its implementation demands a consulting partner who can supplement technical knowledge with true trade compliance expertise.

EntryPoint has been deploying GTS since its first version.  In that time, we have differentiated ourselves by building a team of trade-savvy consultants dedicated solely to GTS.  This team has permitted EntryPoint to ensure our clients' GTS Deployments are always about business and compliance improvement, not just about technology.

Are you concerned that GTS is not doing everything it could at your company?

Perhaps the consulting partner who deployed GTS for you didn't provide sufficient guidance in developing the optimal trade compliance solution, and you think there is room for improvement.  Or perhaps you've upgraded since your original deployment and have not yet taken advantage of the new features that are available.

Let EntryPoint provide a GTS Body Scan that will help you recognize whether your business is benefiting from its full capabilities.  In less than one week, we will provide an expert diagnosis of your GTS design and processes, identify each area of improvement and recommend a path to optimal effectiveness.

Are you concerned with how much time your team spends on day-to-day trade compliance activities?

You've deployed GTS and you are a much more efficient and compliant organization than you were before.  But, as anyone who has worked around technology can attest, new tools may make you better at doing things, but they rarely leave you with less to do.

EntryPoint can free your compliance team from much of your day-to-day activities with its Vigilant Trade Compliance Office.  We can resolve denied party screening blocks, classify product tariff, commodity, OGA and export control numbers and review blocked transactions and license determination decisions.  This frees up your compliance team to concentrate on areas that bring greater business benefit.
