ABRAMS world trade wiki originates from a vision of the founder of ABRAMS Industries GmbH & Co. KG, to create the highest degree of transparency in world trade. Mainly, to get more information about his competitors and suppliers – from their purchasing prices and margins to trade volumes of individual national markets. He wanted to have an up-to-date overview at the click of a mouse. In order to be able to react immediately. After 10 years of research and database construction – including negotiations with US customs authorities, the United Nations, and all available national databases – the most comprehensive world trade database of international goods traffic was born. This was made possible by a highly specialized team of IT experts and analysts, who combined billions of freight and customs data through intelligent algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) into a “unique business intelligence portal” (quote from the UN Comtrade, trade database of the United Nations that is also integrated into ABRAMS world trade wiki.)
