Quantifying the Risk in Your Route to Better Navigate a New-look International Trade Landscape

Roambee, the Supply Chain Decisions AI Provider, has officially announced the launch of its Global Trade Lane Risk Planning Platform, which happens to be a powerful, AI-driven analytics solution capable of delivering Lane Risk Scores to help enterprises navigate volatile global logistics & trade lane planning with confidence.

To understand the significance of such a development, we must acknowledge how US’ recently-revised tariffs have prompted supply chain and trade managers into reevaluating their international logistics strategies. Now, while existing supply chain planning tools do allow businesses to redesign trade lanes from a tariff and HS code optimization perspective, none actually bring objective, real-time insights in the context of operational lane risk.

Fortunately enough, Roambee’s Trade Lane Risk Planning Platform addresses the given bottleneck through a scoring mechanism, which is based on 10+ years of firsthand supply chain geospatial intelligence. More on that would reveal how, unlike static models or inference-based tools, Roambee’s platform takes into account over a decade of real-time sensor-driven data & sensorless information. This it does by monitoring millions of shipments across air, ocean, rail, and road lanes worldwide.

In essence, right from temperature excursions and customs delays to theft-prone corridors and excessive dwell times, the new platform can effectively aggregate actual in-transit performance, all for the purpose of generating one specified Lane Risk Score, a true single source of truth for risk assessment.

Not just that, as the need for lane risk scoring is not one-size-fits-all, Roambee’s Lane Risk Score is also markedly tailored to key industry verticals, delivering actionable insights that go beyond generic “risk maps” and towards lane-level operational precision.

Taking a slightly deeper level of how different industries face different vulnerabilities in the given respect; we begin from the pharmaceuticals’ sector which requires temperature control and zero excursions, with risk proposition measured by environmental compliance and security during dwell times.

Next up, there is the field of electronics and high-value goods that are generally more prone to pilferage and tampering, thus demanding proper visibility into loss hotspots and hand-off points.

Another such sector would be of perishables and food & beverage, a sector which has to face shelf-life sensitivity, making cold chain compliance and on-time delivery extremely critical.

Apart from that, we have the automotive and industrial machinery which depends on JIT delivery, meaning even small delays in a lane can shut down production lines.

Among other things, we ought to mention how supply chain leaders can now use the Lane Risk Score to plan alternate lanes not just by cost or duty impact, but also by real-world risk. You see, they can select carriers and forwarders with proven reliability on critical lanes, better justify premium lanes or extra safeguards in high-risk zones with data-backed evidence, and proactively avoid disruptions before they can affect operations or revenue.

Founded in 2013, Roambee’s rise up the ranks stems from its proprietary AI solution, which is best known for improving customer experience, service levels, product quality, order-to-cash cycles, business efficiencies, sustainability, and automating logistics.

The company’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider more than 300 enterprises rely on Roambee to scale up their operations. Not just that, over 50 of these players are also understood to be among top 100 global companies across the Pharma, Food, Electronics, Chemicals, Automotive, Packaging & Containers, and Logistics sectors.

“You can’t optimize what you can’t measure — and in today’s world, you also can’t afford to move without knowing the risk,” said Sanjay Sharma, CEO of Roambee. “Our Global Trade Lane Risk Planning Platform gives you a crystal-clear view into your supply chain’s weakest links. It’s not a simulation. It’s not any prediction. It’s the reality that yours & millions of other shipments have lived through, turned into actionable intelligence to balance cost versus risk in trade lane planning.”
