Airline Maintenance Provider Streamlines Trade Compliance for Global Reach
~ 1 min Read
The situation
After establishing themselves as the second-largest MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) provider globally, AFI KLM E&M faced a critical juncture: how to expand beyond their European stronghold while controlling costs and maintaining their exceptional quality standards.
The challenge
Growth meant navigating increasingly complex international trade regulations, especially for aircraft and aircraft parts. With hundreds of thousands of parts moving across borders — many classified as dual-use products under strict guidelines — their manual compliance processes couldn’t scale to meet demand without introducing significant risk.
The outcome
By partnering with e2open and implementing their Global Trade Management applications, AFI KLM E&M transformed their compliance operations. The results speak for themselves: faster shipments, reduced compliance risks, lower operational costs, and the ability to confidently expand into new markets.
