The Digital Standards Initiative (DSI) of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has launched a complete framework for end-to-end supply chain digitalisation, based on its 18-month analysis covering all 36 key trade documents.
The report, together with its interactive Key Trade Data Glossary, marks a breakthrough in digital trade bringing together all key trade documents in a single integrated version, with data alignment that presents a clear path to interoperability and secure data sharing.
The Key Trade Documents and Data Elements (KTDDE) project, chaired by Robert Beideman, Chief Product Officer at GS1, provides a detailed analysis of 36 key trade documents set forth in the World Trade Organization (WTO)- United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL)- United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) Cross-border Paperless Trade Toolkit and offers an invaluable guide to digitalising any process, whether business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-government (B2G) across any global supply chain and covering all sectors.
