“SAP presents a strong value proposition for both CIOs and trade compliance/supply chain executives,” wrote Steve Clouther, vice president, enterprise applications, ARC Advisory Group, in the report. SAP was ranked as the number one supplier overall based on revenue in the last five versions of this report, as well as a leader in selected categories including:

  • Global trade management for trade compliance
  • Tier 1 companies
  • EMEA geographical region
  • Aerospace and defense
  • Chemical
  • Machinery manufacturing
  • Mining and metals
  • Wholesale and distribution

With recently announced capabilities offered for processing trade in China and foreign-trade zone operations in the United States, SAP Global Trade Services continues to keep pace with our customers’ evolving needs.”

SAP’s global trade management application, SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS), supports export management, import management, screening and embargo, license and preference determination, foreign-trade zone and other special customs procedures. SAP GTS can be purchased as an end-to-end solution, or subsets of the software can be acquired independently according to customer requirements.
