XPORTA provides a unique Global Sourcing solution that combines Global Trade Intelligence with Optimization to enable companies to increase their gross margins and reduce their costs of goods sold by 10 to 15% by executing optimal global sourcing strategies.

The XPORTA solution allows companies to examine all facets of their cross border transactions to ensure that the actual, bottom-line Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is minimized on an enterprise wide basis.

Companies must aggressively source globally just to stay even with their competitors. There is an opportunity to improve gross margins by over 10% if it's done correctly, but there is a risk that gross margins will be negatively influenced by sourcing lower cost materials that have higher total ownership costs.
