This IDC study provides an evaluation of global trade management (GTM) solutions and spotlights the imperative for retailers and importers to adopt GTM technology that delivers automation, real-time intelligence, and end-to-end integration across compliance, logistics, and finance. For technology buyers, IDC advises a holistic evaluation of GTM solutions, considering connectivity, real-time trade content, automation, analytics and AI capabilities, and alignment with business strategy and operational complexity, as global trade management platforms not only mitigate compliance risks and disruptions but also unlock new opportunities for cost savings, supplier diversification, and intelligent sourcing. Indeed, GTM is becoming a strategic enabler for retailers and importers to navigate global trade challenges, drive operational efficiency, and sustain profitability in a rapidly evolving market. The vendors assessed herein offer a range of solutions to meet diverse needs, but success will depend on selecting technology that integrates with broader supply chain operations and supports agile, data-driven decision-making.

"Global trade is complex and fragmented, and GTM software aims to bring automation, visibility, and control — and even new opportunity — to every layer of cross-border operations, not only to avoid disruptions that slow, halt, or confiscate merchandise or levy fines but also to enable organizations to make faster, data-driven decisions around sourcing and landed costs through real-time duty, tariff, and trade agreement evaluations," said Jordan K. Speer, research director, Retail Product Sourcing, Fulfillment, and Sustainability Strategies at IDC. "In a world where tariffs shift overnight and supply chains face constant disruption, automated global trade management is required to keep product moving swiftly and efficiently to market."
