Goods-related export control
With its software applications and tools, SAPPER GLOBAL E.C.S. sheds light when it comes to companies’ export control and helps to master the challenges involved more easily and, in doing so, more securely. Deliveries are always about these four core questions:
- what?
- to whom?
- whereabouts?
- wherefore?
This refers to the inspection of goods and the verification of the consignee,
the country of purchase and destination and the purpose of use.
Requirements
Regardless of the size of a company and the volume of the required verification processes: The requirements for the export control officer in the company are always equally high and demanding. A real challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises!
Legal background
With the software support of SAPPER E.C.S., compliance is checked at all stages of the workflow. Export control begins in the research and development department: It is well known that the selection of product components already sets the course for facilitation or even possible problems during later export to certain countries.
Partner
We are supported by our partners AWA and AWB in determining the legal basis (classification, licensing rules), the ongoing maintenance of the database content and the necessary expertise to supervise the projects.
SOFTWARE SOLUTION
SAPPER E.C.S. is a bundled software package that guides the user step by step through the applicable regulations by asking specific questions about the end-user, the end-use, the end-use and the goods to be exported.
After completion of the workflow, the system outputs one of three possible results:
- Export permitted
- Duty to approve
- Export prohibited
DYNAMIC DECISION MANAGEMENT
The self-learning system
SAPPER E.C.S. is designed as a self-learning system:
With SAPPER E.C.S., the user has the possibility, within the framework of the interaction during the processing of a transaction, to give his answers not only for this one transaction, but also to store them as a representative for future transactions of the same type.
The system “learns” from this and does not ask the same question again later in the same constellation: with the help of this dynamic decision management, the processes become significantly faster up to an “automatic” check without further queries.

every perseverance harder.”

This realisation also and especially applies to export control.
The starting point for a solid export control is the existence of a unique export list number or an ECCN for US export control.
Even for small and medium-sized companies, this can be a Herculean task. The so-called recoding or classification of materials is often the reason for throwing in the towel halfway.
We will be happy to support you with our experience to get you started on the right track in this challenging topic.
