Shielding (Supplier Shield)
Shielding (Supplier Shield)
Introduction
The risk of exposure changes direction depending on which side of the transaction you are on.
Those who matter are afraid that the competitor will discover the supplier and close directly with the factory, replicating their business. Those who export have the same fear: that the competitor will discover the buyer and offer the same product cheaper, taking advantage of the relationship you have built.

Why shield your operation?
Today, foreign trade is monitored in real time. Global data intelligence platforms capture public records of maritime and air shipments (such as the Bill of Lading).
This means that, without adequate protection, any competitor subscribing to these tools can consult your company's history, identifying exactly:
- Who produces for you
- Who buys your product abroad
- The volume, frequency and average value of your transactions

How it works
Upon import
We structure the operation so that no competitor can identify who manufactures your product, through trading hubs abroad.
When exporting
We protect the foreign buyer you prospected and cultivated by preventing third parties from identifying and approaching that business relationship.
Custom-assembled structure
Each operation is designed according to your sales channel, type of product and the level of protection required.
Shielding can be contracted independently or integrated into the Direct Import or Export operation.
