Tremco CPG Group has been using SAP since 1998 and introduced GTS in 2012, initially in the USA and Canada, followed by Australia and Brazil1. Since 2021, GTS has been rolled out globally and is now used in several countries, including the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, France, Poland, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile1. The most recent project involves new functionalities in preferences and customs declarations in Germany.

The group initially went live with version 10 of GTS and later updated to version 11, which they are still using1. The standard functionalities include compliance management, with a full suite of SPL embargo and legal control, and limited use of customs management, primarily for tariff classification1. Preference processing is used mainly in the USA and Canada, with some use in Australia due to the US-Australia free trade agreement.
