Global trade solutions

Global Trade Mexico (Maquila)

The maquila model allows special assembly plant in Latin America to import raw materials for processing free of customs charges. The tax obligations associated with ‘Maquiladora’ certification are monitored strictly.

Particular challenges for IT

At the start of a maquila project, the form in which the maquila model should be used is often not fully defined: that of the production facility of a US company, or alternatively, contract production as a service?

We protect you from surprises during your SAP rollout

To prevent your IT department coming under pressure, we clarify the requirements of your SAP system with you in a maquiladora workshop and coordinate with the specialist departments and external tax advisors.

Project preparation

Project planning together with the client or their global SAP partner. Creation of project charter, project organisation and a communication plan.

Fit-gap analysis

The ortevo team observes the requirements of the client’s global template, but also the maquila processes that are to be implemented.

Design

ortevo and the client jointly develop the new architecture of the SAP solution, taking the maquila requirements into account. Further global trade systems are also included in the design.

Evaluation and solution proposal

The maquila processes are configured in the SAP system and the global trade system and tested. Key users are trained and preparations made for the cutover.

User acceptance test training and go-live

Once the users are trained, we go through the user acceptance test once again and preparations are made for the cutover to production. This is followed by the go-live and handover to support.

This is what ortevo stands for as your maquila partner.
