Solution Selection

Choosing a Global Trade Management platform is a long, expensive commitment, and most evaluation processes are steered by the vendors themselves. We give you an independent read—grounded in what these platforms actually do once they are live.

What it is

Vendor-independent evaluation of GTM and trade-compliance solutions, end to end: requirements definition, RFP development, demo facilitation, scoring, and a clear recommendation.

Independence positioning

We have no software to sell and take no vendor commissions or referral fees. Our recommendation is driven by fit for your trade lanes, your existing systems, and your compliance obligations—nothing else. When a platform is the wrong fit, we say so.

What we evaluate against

• Coverage of the capabilities you actually need: screening, export, import, duty, customs filing, classification, and origin determination
• The breadth, accuracy, and update cadence of the vendor’s trade content
• Integration fit with your ERP, order, and shipping systems
• Total cost of ownership, including the operational effort to run it

Deliverables

• Weighted requirements and scoring model
• RFP documents and a structured evaluation process
• Facilitated vendor demonstrations scored against your real scenarios
• A written recommendation with rationale and risks

Engagement model

Fixed-scope or time-and-materials.
