DAY ONE - TUESDAY 1st MAY

The Supply Chain insight seminar days, brought to you by the Shippers’ Voice, are free to attend tutorials featuring panels of up to five industry experts to help you tackle your supply chain issues, keep up to date with the latest regulations, and find new ways to help you work more efficiently and compliantly.

12.00 - 13.10 - The cloud/Software as a Service (SaaS) and the supply chain

The market for cloud-based services is estimated to reach GBP97.5 billion by 2014, but what is its potential in the supply chain? Cloud computing is here to stay and many believe it will revolutionise supply chain services, but with so much technological novelty to understand and a bewildering amount of media hype about the potential of SaaS it can be hard to know how to embrace it.

Our panel of experts will shed some light on the issues so that you can get started.

14.30 - 15.40 - Customs and trade compliance - revolutionising the way we do things

Developing “best practices” for customs means developing an effective customs strategy. Efficient management of your customs compliance obligations is not only critically important to mitigate the risks for forwarders and shippers but also to maintain and enhance the relationship with clients.

Our specialists will look at potential consequences of non-compliance with customs requirements and how to avoid them and explore how offering customs services to clients can help create new business opportunities for freight forwarders and logistics providers.

The industry group SAGE believes in the shipper taking total responsibility for Customs and secutiry complaiance along the entire length of the supply chain. It is an achievable vision which delivers effective compliance but also the visibility necessary to achieve significant supply chain savings.

Momentum is building in the UK and Europe, so come and hear what it is about and how to get involved.

15.40 - 16.30 - Maintaining Authorised Economic Operator Status (AEO) – Setting up effective regular checks and a monitoring programme

The decision to become AEO is a strategic management decision with important financial and time investment implications.

Ensuring compliance with the conditions and criteria to be met by the authorised economic operator add additional costs and resources to the business which needs to be managed as efficiently as possible.

This specialised session aimed for currently certified AEO companies looks at ways to monitor on-going AEO compliance and gives some ideas on how to implement an effective system.

Companies currently applying for AEO or considering becoming AEO in the future may also find this session useful.
