Empowering local companies in international markets

"My time at the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United States brought me face to face with the problem that all SMEs encounter when expanding into international markets - the difficulty of finding importers. I discovered that large multinationals had access to information with which to extract importer data for each country.

However, accessing and interpreting this data was not feasible for small and medium-sized companies.The only possible way to create a solution to this problem was through a SaaS (Software as a service) - a tool that would process and analyze international commodity transactions, providing information on potential customers, and which, in addition, had to be easy to use and affordable.

For this I needed a genius who could create such a software from scratch, luckily I already knew him. Miguel, our CTO and co-founder, has been, and is, key in the technological development of the platform. Together we have materialized the ultimate tool to boost local companies in global markets. Since then, we have numerous users who enjoy the platform on a daily basis, improving the competitiveness of SMEs in the international arena."
