ADEL FORMATION’s expertise spans issues classically raised by procedures of international trade (payment, funding/financing, risk management, legal aspects, international marketing, and transportation), detailed below.
In the framework of technical assistance, our experts assist or completely take in charge your import-export procedures.
Our intervention allows your company substantial savings:
in terms of time for procedures thanks to an optimized management
in terms of personnel, since no company can afford to employ full-time all the specialists whose expertise is necessary to the global management of an international operation
in terms of expenses: mastery of techniques and procedures on part of our experts avoids:
- additional costs (demurrage) related to international transportation
- contractual penalties entailed by poorly managed contract or transportation
- insufficiently planned financial fees/charges (reduction of about 10 to 20 %)
- risks of non-payment resulting from unsuited means of payment
It also allows it to preserve and strengthen its brand image: strict respect of contractual obligations and deadlines is a powerful way of earning credibility from suppliers or clients.
