Navigate the Impact of Tariffs on your Supply Chain
Navigate the Impact of Tariffs on your Supply Chain
Tariffs and global supply chains are more interconnected than ever. Organizations face heightened risks, rising costs, and operational complexity as trade tensions and regulatory shifts continue – especially following US-China tariffs and retaliatory measures.
How tariffs affect supply chains – and how to stay resilient
The impact of tariffs extends far beyond added import duties. They influence sourcing strategies, supplier relationships, production timelines, logistics networks, and customer pricing models.
To manage these dynamics effectively, Siemens Advanta’s Supply Chain Tariffs Analytics Solution helps organizations to:
- Model real-time scenarios to assess the impact of tariffs on logistics, costs, and supply continuity
- Analyze root causes at part level to identify vulnerabilities and evaluate dual sourcing opportunities
- Shift perspectives between revenue and spend to better engage customers and suppliers with actionable insights
From disruption to strategy: leveraging supply chain shifts as opportunity
Tariff-related disruptions are no longer isolated events – they’ve become a recurring feature of global trade. To remain competitive, organizations must respond quickly and strategically to changing trade policies and supply chain impacts. This requires a shift from reactive mitigation to active opportunity management.
Turning disruption into advantage means understanding where volatility can open doors: for example, by optimizing production footprints, securing more flexible sourcing models, or rethinking logistics strategies with a long-term view.
How Siemens Advanta helps you build resilience and agility
To support organizations in navigating these challenges, Siemens Advanta provides tailored solutions across multiple dimensions of supply chain strategy. Siemens Advanta supports your organization through:
- Supply chain optimization: improve efficiency by up to 30% and reduce lead times by 40% through nearshoring, real-time tracking, and automation.

- Innovation and cost reduction: boost productivity by up to 50% and lower compliance costs with AI-powered analytics.
- Strategic partnerships: recover up to 99% of duties paid via duty drawback programs and free trade zones.
Strategic tariff mitigation: more than cost savings

- Identify cost-saving alternatives
- Collaborate with key suppliers using proprietary cost insights
- Support make-buy decisions and product redesign evaluations
