Acquisition of EntryPoint Consulting gives KMPG more technology and services expertise for SAP trade management product.
The audit, tax and advisory firm KPMG on Monday acquired the global trade management practice of EntryPoint Consulting LLC, a provider of consulting services around SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS) for multinational corporations.
The EntryPoint team will be integrated into KPMG’s trade and customs practice, enabling KPMG to provide both regulatory and technology consulting under one umbrella.
“The addition of EntryPoint’s SAP GTS consulting and systems implementation services will strengthen KPMG’s proficiency in assisting multinationals to enhance their investment in global trade management systems,” KPMG said in a statement. “This includes the ability to manage global import and export control risks and realize cost savings and efficiencies throughout the supply chain. These services are especially relevant as companies consider various global trade management systems as part of enterprise resource planning system implementations or upgrades.”
KMPG said the acquisition builds on its established experience with SAP’s business and technology integration services and solutions.
EntryPoint’s global trade management practice has experience in the aerospace and defense, consumer products, high-tech, industrial machinery, medical devices, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries.
