Free Webinar: Capitalizing on the Direct Import Opportunity

April 13, 2010, 12:29 pm

Earlier this year Walmart announced projected cost savings of 5 – 15% by product category with an expanded direct import program. While retailers, consumer goods companies and most global manufacturers have been importing for years, there is renewed interest in understanding all of the elements of a direct import program and the opportunity areas that can drive new supply chain efficiencies and boost product profitability.

This webinar, presented by Management Dynamics and World Trade Magazine, will take a look at the foundation technologies for a direct import program, explore the implementation options by working with a global logistics provider, and discuss a number of successful case studies.

The webinar will be Tuesday, May 25 at 2pm EST. Please register today by following this link.

In order to reap the cost-saving benefits of sourcing from all over the world, it is important to have an efficiently managed supply chain. Using a software solution such as Management Dynamics can ensure that you are communicating efficiently with all of your trading partners.
