Some Customer Stories

Oracle Confidential – Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted


Challenges

Oracle Confidential – Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted 55

“Global Trade Compliance is a complex list of rules and regulations which must be effectively complied with to enable movement of goods into and out of countries around the world…

Every country has their own set of rules and regulations by each of their government agencies to regulate import and export of commodities, technologies and services, and to impose trade embargos and economic sanctions on certain countries, entities and individuals .

The effect of these regulations and controls is that a single transaction can subject [us] to the rules of multiple agencies in multiple countries.”


Challenges Visibility

• What is controlled or regulated?

• When global logistics are managed in spreadsheets or via third parties – its not easy to know

• Data not centralized /transparent

Compliance

• Needed to prevent assets from being held up in port or in customs

• Screening trading partners, transactions and locations

• Increased Customs inquiries and audits

Analysis

• Ability to understand and address the root cause of delays and issues


Global Growth

• Much of customs work done through logistics is now outside the U.S.

• Diverse business processes increase complexity and risk

• Multiple systems and databases with no integration

Protectionism

• Significant risk for higher duties & taxes (ADD, CVD)

• Non-tariff Risks

• Difficulties clearing goods (Red Tape): Brazil, Russia, Saudi Arabia


Solution Objectives Visibility

• Manual systems replaced with automated, standardized processes.

• Centralized trade information / Regionally managed

• Daily automatic trade content updates into GTM

Compliance

• Manage transportation and trade compliance in one system

• Trade compliance through integrated logistics processes… data capture and track thru supply chain

• Screening workflows for data set up / order release / shipment

Analysis

• Supplier/ Carrier/Forwarder Collaboration – Scorecards, Planning,


Global Growth

• Global process with functional expertise / Regional execution with local business knowledge

• Logistics planning, freight consolidation and improved invoice accuracy

• System-generated shipping/customs documents – regionally printed and shared with broker

• Reduce complexity caused by multiple systems, processes

Protectionism

• Meet regulations & standards – compliance to design, sale and usage of products across different regions
