PACI work modality:

In addition to providing our services on a project basis, we offer the PACI contracting option - Anti-Illegal Trade Plan, whose objective is to reduce the illegal market in the sector of your interest within a period of one year, and it works in four phases:

Diagnosing the problem with verifiable and auditable hard data.
Co-construction of the one-year Plan with prioritization of measures and actions.
Implementation of the PACI and continuous feedback with the client.
Evaluation of results. What was the return on investment?

Caso de éxito

El dolor: “hemos perdido 20% del market share por el contrabando; denunciamos y capacitamos pero no vemos que pase algo; si seguimos a este ritmo, el negocio será insostenible”. (Cliente del sector metalúrgico en Colombia).

El resultado con este cliente: por $1 dólar de inversión retornamos $100 USD en decomisos y el cliente validó la escasez del producto de contrabando en zonas comerciales priorizadas.
