Welcome to our Third Quarter NU Borders' Business Intelligence for Trade Enforcement (BITE) Newsletter!

The Business Intelligence for Trade Enforcement (BITE) platform provides regulatory, compliance, and enforcement teams with a suite of next-generation tools to automate the identification of targets, gain access to large trade datasets, and manage their workflow.

We’ve Been Busy:

In August 2021, NU Borders was ranked as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. by Inc. 5000.

Data:

The BITE team has:

1. Updated our screening lists
2. Refined our sensitive technology filters
3. Built out additional dashboards and visualized data that drill down on illicit trade activity
4. Ingested and cleaned additional countries’ manifest data

Webinar Alert:

Our September BITE Webinar will be jointly hosted by the Institute for Science and International Security.

This quarter we will focus on nuclear procurement trends in Southeast Asia. Due to the sensitivity of the material, we keep the webinars to government personnel only.

After each Webinar, we provide the BITE Report which includes additional details around the Webinar topic.

Training:

NU Borders’ training team conducted separate training sessions on BITE analytics for customs agencies in Georgia, Indonesia, and Lithuania. We are building out an on-premise customized BITE platform solution and training on the use of data analytics to disrupt illicit regional supply chains for government representatives in the country of Georgia.

Customer focus:

NU Borders has partnered with the Painted Dog Conservation (PDC), a non-profit organization located in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe to provide PDC with access to the BITE platform to help analyze and track wildlife, look at movement patterns and trends of the animals and gain better insight into how PDC resources can be optimized to support anti-poaching efforts. Our BITE team delivered hands-on training of the BITE platform to PDC rangers, in July 2021.

We continue to demo to and work with multiple organizations in the government and private sector, with the aim of helping our clients gain a better understanding of their trade enforcement and compliance capabilities.
