Supply chain inefficiencies and disparate legacy systems cost businesses hundreds of billions globally each year.
As a result of Brexit, the United Kingdom will have over 200M custom additional custom clearances a year (up from 50M pre-Brexit).
The UK government forecasts an additional £15 Billion in admin costs, with over 50% of clearances also having incorrect paper-based documentation.
