Global Solutions: Management of Importer Files
The globalization of markets and of consumer needs has led to an almost exponential growth in foreign trade in recent years. As a result, companies which were already carrying out business operations in other countries have been able to access new markets which until recently were closed to them. On the other hand, companies which had not previously felt the need to trade abroad have been forced to open up lines of business in other countries in order to grow, or even simply to mitigate the impact of the appearance of new foreign competitors.
Owing to this increase in import and export transactions, businesses have found it necessary to implement infrastructures – some more and some less complicated – within their organisation, in order to manage and administer these foreign transactions.
In turn, this growth has brought with it the need for new national and international legislation to govern foreign trade, in order to continually monitor the conditions in which commercial transactions are carried out.
The need for security and control over goods and services has created the demand for managing large quantities of documentation which, in the vast majority of cases, involves more than one department at the same time within an organisation.
SGAIM facilitates reductions in the processing costs and timeframes concerned in the management of documentation. The Management of Importer Files centralises the processes of reception and management, ensuring control, good organisation and constant updating of these massive information flows.
