Martin Kappelmeier · Foreign Trade Solutions
I support businesses with imports and exports, international trade and international logistics processes. Around 30 years of professional experience help me clarify business requirements and implement them in processes and IT systems together with your team.
Would you like to improve your customs operations, manage a system migration or fill a specialist role temporarily? I combine operational experience in shipping and customs with consulting in SAP and international trade projects.
I analyse your processes and provide support with tariff classification, customs valuation, origin and preferential treatment. Together with your team, I clarify responsibilities, supporting documents and internal checks.
During SAP transformations and day-to-day operations, I clarify business requirements, material master data and interfaces. I coordinate testing and error analysis with business departments, IT and development.
I know the operational side from managing shipping and customs, and the project side from consulting. I bring this experience to my work with business departments, IT, management and external service providers.
We discuss your starting point, the processes involved and the goal. I assess which data, supporting documents and participants are needed to carry out the work.
I translate business questions into actionable requirements and support coordination, testing and issue resolution with the teams responsible.
As a project consultant or interim manager, I take on agreed responsibilities and document the results for ongoing work and handover.
My assignments range from SAP and international trade processes to material master data and international Global Customs work.
Analysis of errors in live SAP operations, clarification of delivery references and data selection in Intrastat reporting, and coordination with SAP Support and ABAP development.
Functional support for SAP S/4HANA transformations, SAP GTS and AEB integration. The focus was on processes, master data, interfaces and issue resolution.
Review of product and material master data, and advice to international business units on customs, export controls and preferential origin processes.
I live in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, and work with international teams. Remote collaboration coordinated with the German time zone is possible. We discuss travel, working arrangements and availability to suit your requirements.
German is my native language. I use English professionally and speak Spanish at an intermediate level.
