- Beneficial Ownership Identification: Leveraging data to ascertain the legitimate owners of goods, essential in addressing issues like money laundering, tax evasion, and other unlawful practices.
- Sourcing Insights: Providing insights into the sourcing of goods by both company and country, enabling informed decisions regarding supply chains and risk exposures.
- Compliance and Due Diligence: Facilitating adherence to international trade regulations and effectuating comprehensive due diligence on supply chain associates.
- Collaboration and Trust: Enhancing collaboration and trust among stakeholders, resulting in improved operations, effective regulation enforcement, and efficient supply chains.
The future of the ADAMftd platform is focused on delivering essential tools and resources for augmenting transparency and traceability in the global supply chain. The launch of this platform aims to aid businesses and customs agencies in better risk management, compliance assurance, and overall enhancement of operational efficiency and effectiveness.
