Case Study: Vinmar International Ltd. achieves compliant, efficient cross-border supply chain operations with Bristlecone

Bristlecone’s Role in Optimizing Vinmar’s Cross Border Supply Chain

Vinmar International Ltd., a global chemical and petrochemical marketer, needed to improve efficiency in its cross-border supply chain while meeting complex trade compliance requirements across its worldwide operations. The company turned to Bristlecone and SAP Global Trading System (GTS) to help manage multi-tier trade flows, integrate processes across geographies, and reduce documentation and regulatory burdens.

Bristlecone implemented SAP GTS tightly integrated with SAP SD and added customized tools, including the ZLCS letter-of-credit report and the ZDSYS trade document module, to automate customs and trade-document processes. Bristlecone’s solution enabled automated global trade compliance, certified interfaces to government systems, reduced import/export delays and penalties, and improved risk control through compliance, customs, and risk management functions.
