  • Sixty percent of Best-in-Class supply chains are using end-to-end processes for global trade management
  • Best-in-Class supply chains are more likely to have visibility and collaboration across their networks, including with international partners
  • Critical calculations, like costs of tariffs, duties and taxes, are possible at 80 percent of Best-in-Class companies, compared to 50 percent of lower performing organizations
