The rapid growth in the global economy has made international trade a key stake for various actors. But international trade implies complex logistics flows with a real difficulty to get a real-time overview of the status of goods that are being transported.
This situation is not comfortable for all companies whose value is based on international bought-in goods and supplies. Conversely, the opacity of international trade facilitates trafficking in all its forms: money laundering, terrorism financing and evading sanctions regulations or other restrictions.
In this context, our purpose is to collect and analyse relevant data to analyse and secure international trade transactions in order to guarantee their original soundness.
