Unlocking Supply Chain Efficiencies in Export and Import: The Contribution of Modern Technologies/Startup project on BORDERLESS

Abstract

This study explores the role of modern technologies in enhancing supply chain efficiencies within the context of international trade, with a direct projection to it, on a critical startup project. The increasing complexity of global trade operations has exposed numerous inefficiencies in traditional supply chains, including delays, lack of transparency, high operational costs, and poor coordination among stakeholders. Addressing these challenges requires a shift toward technology-enabled solutions that can automate, optimize, and secure trade flows across borders. The methodology adopted is qualitative in nature, utilizing data analysis from academic sources, industry reports, and company publications. A thematic approach is used to examine how some particular technologies contributes to specific dimensions of supply chain performance. Key findings indicate that AI-driven forecasting tools, blockchain-enabled transaction transparency, and IoT-based tracking systems have collectively led to significant improvements. The research highlights not only the benefits but also the challenges of implementing such technologies, including regulatory constraints and infrastructure limitations in emerging markets. The study concludes with practical implications for policymakers, logistics providers, and exporters aiming to harness digital transformation for competitive advantage.
