AI-Native Trade and Tariff Compliance, Secured for the Enterprise
ERP-based GTM systems like SAP GTS place heavy demands on internal IT teams and require specialized trade and tariff expertise. As tariff policies and geopolitical regulations shift with increasing frequency, legacy systems struggle to keep pace, forcing compliance teams to fall back on spreadsheets, SharePoint, and email just to maintain daily operations.
Meanwhile, executive leadership continues to mandate AI adoption as a lever for productivity — yet enterprise AI teams often lack the domain expertise to support complex trade workflows, leading to misalignment and underperformance.
KYG Trade addresses these challenges directly. Our platform reduces IT lift, aligns with enterprise security requirements, and delivers AI-assisted functionality purpose-built for trade compliance professionals. The result? Measurable gains from day one without the usual delays or disconnects.
Secure by Design
If needed, KYG can leverage Intel’s SGX silicon, Project Amber, Merkle trees, and encrypted hashes to not only protect data at rest and in transit, but also while in cloud processing — with cryptographic proof of integrity at every step.
Low IT Burden
Our platform is cloud-based, API-extensible, and maintained by KYG — no dedicated IT team required for day-to-day support and content updates.
Privacy-First Architecture
KYG aligns with GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection frameworks, using field-level encryption, zero-knowledge proof, and at-rest document storage to ensure sensitive data remains confidential.
Rapid, Painless Integration
Prebuilt connectors for ERPs, PLMs, TMS, GTM, and other systems enable seamless onboarding into your existing technology stack.
