Leveraging FTAs allows companies to sell their products with low or no tariffs and therefore offers a competitive advantage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, the consensus among attendees was that managing FTA compliance was time consuming and error prone. Compliance missteps, even if done by accident, can result in significant fines. As a result, companies need to <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/solutions\/free-trade-agreement\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">automate rules of origin determination and the solicitation of supplier documentation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital Transformation \u2014 Everything is Connected<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not too long ago trade compliance and supply chain were often siloed and not considered in the same sentence. In today&#8217;s competitive world, if a company goes to the time and effort to ensure they are fully compliant and take advantage of the various trade agreements on offer then it also makes sense to ensure that final products are ready to be shipped so they can be delivered On Time In Full (OTIF).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A digital transformation approach can help increase visibility and collaboration between different departments, who all have an important role to play to ensure that quality products reach the final destination in time at least cost to serve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you consider the lifecycle of a product \u2014 from the forecast to the final delivery \u2014 various supply chain processes and compliance issues intersect. Suppliers, customers and all trading partners must be subject to a compliance screening process. This due diligence is necessary to ensure you are not trading with restricted parties or sanctioned individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, visibility across various departments, from procurement to logistics breaks down these silos and allows for more efficient and responsive customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Workforce is the Supply Chain<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One often overlooked part of the supply chain is the workforce. Without enough frontline staff to make your product, it doesn\u2019t matter how accurate your demand plan or how well your logistics network is designed. If you don\u2019t have workers to make your goods, you won\u2019t be able to deliver to all your customers (ON Time IN Full) OTIF.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were delighted to introduce the ICPA attendees to our newest offering \u2014<\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rzsoftware.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> QAD Redzone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. QAD Redzone is a connected workforce solution that focuses on increasing employee engagement and productivity. The results speak for themselves with an average of five days worth of throughput being done in four.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks ICPA!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a long time participant in ICPA events, we were delighted to debut our new QAD brand to the attendees in the Netherlands. It is certainly great to hear all the compliments from attendees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you to Jens, Elisabeth and all the ICPA team for delivering another great conference. The event is only possible because of the members who attend to learn more about global trade compliance. As a proud sponsor, we greatly appreciate everyone who took the time to visit our stand, connect before the event and share ideas and challenges over coffee and lunch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please feel free to contact QAD for a meaningful conversation about supply chain and global trade and compliance.
