Despite Brexit, the health crisis, the transport shortage, international trade continues to grow. The WTO therefore forecasts an increase in the volume of world trade in goods of 7.2% in 2021<\/a>. Covid-19 has therefore not put a stop to globalization. On the contrary, the pace of China's exports to Europe and the United States is only increasing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing complexity of global trade <\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this increasingly globalized economy, the challenges in terms of availability, costs and delivery times of goods are even greater.<\/p>\n

But the reappearance of borders and customs barriers as well as the shortage of transport are disrupting the flow of traffic, leading to increases in costs and delays in Supply Chains. The air and maritime transport capacity crisis, of which no one knows the duration, is even a risk for the recovery of our economies.<\/a><\/p>\n

And recent news, in the midst of a pandemic and 10 years after Fukushima, show that operational, political or climatic risks can occur and must therefore be anticipated.<\/p>\n

International transport is therefore no longer the simple low-cost convenience created by the container revolution. Having become expensive and complex again, it is at the center of the concerns of many manufacturers and distributors. It leads them to review their Supply Chain, in terms of sourcing choices as well as transport plan and stock policy, to adapt in a sustainable and efficient manner.<\/p>\n

Digital solutions serving the efficiency of the international Supply Chain<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To understand and rethink these international Supply Chains, companies can rely on dedicated digital solutions<\/a>. They make it possible to work on all stages: sourcing, control of product costs, management of transport operations and reduction of their environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Review your sourcing strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Upstream of the Supply Chain, one of the first thoughts to initiate to overcome the various current crises concerns supplies. Thinking about your purchasing areas, reviewing your sourcing strategy and diversifying it in order to reduce the various risks are important levers in this context. And to manage its profitability, perfect control of the complete cost of products is necessary. Digital solutions such as DDS Sourcing<\/a> carry out this simulation of this complete cost price at destination. They thus make it possible to identify the most relevant supply areas in terms of costs. Ultimately<\/em>, order givers are finally able to make the right decisions for their Supply Chain.<\/p>\n

Anticipate, collaborate and manage your Supply Chain<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fine-grained transport management is a prerequisite for any company wishing to operate internationally. This precise management of flows relies first of all on the ability to share its needs in real time and thus to strengthen its relationships with freight forwarders. It thus facilitates the ability to anticipate and plan flows according to different needs and contingencies. For example, through very detailed management of operations, the shipper can seize the opportunity of a container as soon as it becomes available at a port and thus adjust the sending of its portfolio of orders according to the available capacities. .<\/p>\n

These tools also offer the ability to prepare several transport plans, in different modes, and activate the most relevant one according to the current conditions. Finally, they provide visibility of flows, by consolidating data from the different players in the transport chains, and alerting in the event of delay or anomaly.<\/p>\n

To have this ability to anticipate while ensuring management of its flows, in collaboration with freight forwarders and shipping companies, a certain number of digital tools exist such as DDS Import<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ensure financial and environmental control<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Finally, after reviewing its sourcing and ensuring the management of its flows, it is appropriate to control your costs<\/a>. Faced with the volatility of flows and prices, digital tools offer import management control, with the ability to manage these price variations, and to distribute and analyze these costs to products.<\/p>\n

Added to this is an increasingly significant environmental component, reducing emissions from imported products, driven by high consumer expectations and national, European and global regulations.<\/p>\n

These calculations, long and complex, can be greatly facilitated by means of digital solutions such as \u201cGreen Move\u201d dedicated to transport. The latter will thus be able to automate a real-time unit calculation of CO2 emissions, to ensure the management of orders and transport and to offer a vision of management control to the product despite the multiplicity and complexity increasing flows.<\/p>\n

Because no one will be able to predict future developments, because resilience and agility are now prerequisites for development, ensuring control of flows and costs is essential. New technologies help us achieve this. Thus, the Supply Chain adapts, anticipates, reacts and optimizes.<\/p>\n
