Etihad Cargo Enhances Export Control and Regulatory Compliance

Etihad Cargo decided to partner with e2open to streamline its cargo screening process, enabling the carrier to stay abreast of ever-evolving trade regulations and automate the screening of shipments. This was necessary to provide best in class compliance safeguards for Etihad Cargo’s customers while reducing shipment processing costs. Etihad Cargo implemented e2open’s Export Management application. Paired with the robust trade content contained in e2open’s Global Knowledge application, the company would be able to streamline and automate its cargo screening to enhance compliance and minimize risks. E2open’s cargo screening capabilities include a configurable risk assessment matrix that logistics providers can implement for added security if needed. The matrix provides comprehensive transaction screening, delivering a transaction risk score and visibility into the three primary screening areas: dual-use or restricted goods, destination controls and restricted parties. Additional screening capabilities help companies gauge transaction risks related to the cargo destination’s proximity to various conflict zones. The automated system will simultaneously improve efficiency by streamlining workflows, minimize the risk of fines and penalties and reduce the time and potential delays associated with screening cargo. As a result of these changes, Etihad Cargo expects shipments to consistently arrive on time, thereby increasing customer satisfaction. “Our partnership with e2open, which shares our vision for a truly digital logistics supply chain, increases Etihad Cargo’s service quality to customers, who benefit from the increased efficiency of real-time verification,” said Blech.
