By creating new businesses, opening up new employment opportunities, and boosting productivity, entrepreneurs may stimulate the economy.
The majority of businesspeople like prosperous economic environments and frequently pass over developing and middle-income nations. With her business initiative BlueBlox, Dorothy Diedericks, the CEO and Founder, aimed to turn the tide.
Dorothy, who was born and reared in South Africa, was acutely aware of the inequality and poverty in the world. She was fervent in her belief that individuals should be given more economic freedom and opportunity, both within and outside of the boundaries of the continent of Africa. In late 2014, she founded her company in order to fulfil her mission of empowering the world. The business is primarily concerned with facilitating cross-border trade in Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Dorothy holds a distinctive ideology and thinks that help alone cannot truly empower individuals because it can lead to dependency. She, on the other hand, is of the opinion that engaging in the trade enables people to gain financial control over their life while contributing. She also thinks that trade is a viable strategy for eradicating world poverty.
Trade Compliance Experts
BlueBlox has demonstrated that it is a business that succeeds in spite of all obstacles. The business has been recognised as the Top Trade Compliance Company in the sector and has won the Switzerland Prestige Awards two years in a row. BlueBlox seeks to assist clients in obtaining their legal rights, despite the fact that this is uncommon in developing markets.
BlueBlox provides a wide variety of services to its customers in order to meet their needs for efficient, legal, and lucrative trading. It gives complicated advice on compliant trade, represents its clients in legal and political negotiations, and helps close the gap between globally recognised standards and local implementation. It also gives its clients vital knowledge about a particular local or international market. Every solution that BlueBlox creates is customised to meet the needs of certain clients and national regulations. With its services in Trade Consulting, Trade Facilitation, Trade Performance, Trade Training, and IOR/EOR Advisory, BlueBlox provides effectiveness, compliance, flexibility, and agility. The highly skilled team’s great knowledge in trade compliance enables the clients to concentrate on their core businesses, which is what they do best.
The exceptional knowledge sets BlueBlox apart from its rivals. The company outperforms its rivals thanks to its real-world expertise and information from both domestic and foreign sources. The team also enjoys the chance to provide expertise on how to resolve a nation’s pervasive trade-related issues. According to Dorothy, “We have seen first-hand how our technical assistance has aided our client and helped government employees enhance their performance on a daily basis, streamline their processes, and make them better servants of businesses and the general public.”
Win-win for Everyone Involved
BlueBlox is tenacious and never gives up in the face of difficulty. The business always pays attention to the customers’ needs and works to discover solutions that meet their needs. According to Dorothy, “Our motto: Because business should be easy, accepts the fact that business is not yet easy in many nations. At BlueBlox, our goal is to assist nations in facilitating commerce and business for all. More people will engage in business and trade whenever it is simple to do so. Better lives, opportunities, and economies will be produced as a result. We will discover win-win solutions for all parties concerned by cooperating toward this goal.
Dorothy has assembled a group of talented and motivated people. BlueBlox is a sizable network of trade specialists who share a same set of principles and outlook on trade. The group maintains its attention on the objective and works carefully, openly, and persistently. It strives to produce outcomes that would benefit the entire community, not just a select few people, businesses, or governments, but all parties concerned. “Every case we won would not have been feasible without the efforts of each team member working on it,” she thanks everyone. I want to express my gratitude to my staff for all of their hard work and dedication.
Getting Past the Covid Obstacles
In order to overcome the pandemic’s hurdles, persistence was crucial. One of BlueBlox’s biggest hurdles has been COVID-19. To promote conversations and negotiations, the trade facilitation service needed local representation, particularly in nations like Pakistan, Egypt, Nigeria, and Morocco. But setting up face-to-face encounters with government officials or other pertinent third parties was challenging because to the lockdowns and social norms of distance. BlueBlox responded to the shifts, incorporated technology into its offerings, and overcome the difficulties while abiding by the COVID-19 standards. BlueBlox helped its clients and made sure that their regular business operations went without a hitch despite all of the challenges they faced.
Moving ahead from COVID chronicles, the company had an excellent year in 2021. BlueBlox reached several remarkable accomplishments. For instance, on behalf of its clients, BlueBlox obtained a Presidential Waiver in Nigeria and a Ministerial Export Approval in Pakistan. In Egypt, the company obtained a milestone valuation ruling from the Customs Authority, the first ruling issued by Customs in Egypt in 150 years. Furthermore, it also won a case at the Kenyan Tax Appeals Tribunal against the Kenya Revenue Authority. BlueBlox takes considerable delight and pride in assisting its clients in these cases, enabling them to operate smoothly, correctly, and compliantly.
Growing Continuously to Be the Best
The trade compliance industry is always changing. Thus, it is important to stay informed. BlueBlox constantly monitors the changes and analyses the impact on the market to stay abreast of the competitors. It utilizes the analysis in BlueBlox’s trade compliance strategy to minimize the risks of trade non-compliance and maximize the advantages that trade compliance brings to the clients.
BlueBlox will continue to invest in its team members to enhance their knowledge and skills. Alongside, the focus will remain on supporting the clients and delivering excellent services. The team is currently working on developing an outstanding line of products that will service the world of trade and address the client’s challenges and needs. BlueBlox will strive to deliver exceptional products and services to bring more economic and educational empowerment.
Dorothy summarizes, “We endeavor to grow continuously to be the best we can be and support our clients to make their business as easy as possible. At BlueBlox, we go the extra mile and never give up.”
