The ability to expand your reach to buyers across the globe can push your company to the next level of success, but even businesses with great domestic accomplishments sometimes find themselves facing significant barriers to globalization they did not anticipate. Before taking steps toward global expansion, it’s important to keep your goals in mind and consider whether your company is prepared to expand beyond your current territories. 

Whether you’re just beginning to expand into new markets or you already have an established footprint internationally, you’ll need to ensure that your company comes prepared with the right people, resources, leadership structures and partners to meet your globalization goals successfully. This is especially true when it comes to maintaining your global supply chain. The intricate problems that surface when going global often require a team who knows and understands your products and customers, local customs and languages, shipping carriers, taxes, regulations and more. There is a significant amount to manage from around the globe and across borders. Many businesses partner with globally recognized supply chain management solution partners that have proven experience in other regions and can ease operational burdens while expanding internationally and growing into new markets.

For your company, expanding globally could include an established relationship with one or more providers that service all aspects of warehousing and global transportation, including regulations on importing and exporting, execution of supply chain operations, managing global accounts and more. Globally recognized supply chain management service providers have the systems, teams and training that can make all the difference in successful global expansion and  pushing your business beyond current markets.
