The platform · One operating layer

From "I don't know how to do this"
to goods on the warehouse floor.

Importing from Asia is a five-stage journey. Most importers stitch it together themselves across freight forwarders, sourcing agents, customs brokers, compliance consultants, and banks. We built one platform that runs the whole flow — backed by AI agents, verified suppliers, EU-first compliance, and feet on the ground in Hong Kong.

The five-stage journey

Each stage answers one question.

Five products, but the customer experiences one journey from "where do I find it?" to "how do I pay for it?"

Stage 01
Find it
OrcaTrade Search
Beta

"Where do I find the right supplier?"

AI factory search across vetted Asian manufacturers. Filter by category, country, MOQ, and certifications. No more weeks of digging through Alibaba or 1688 trying to tell real factories from trading companies.

  • Curated database of pre-vetted manufacturers across China, Vietnam, India
  • Filter by capability, capacity, MOQ, certifications, export track record
  • Two-mode search: real knowledge mode and honesty mode
  • Returns 3–5 candidates with comparable scoring, not 500 unranked results

Asia procurement and quality control, end-to-end. Sample coordination, price negotiation, factory audits, and structured QC gates so you don't catch defects at your warehouse dock.

  • Supplier scouting and vetting against your spec, volume, and compliance needs
  • Sample coordination and golden-sample lock-down
  • Pre-prod, mid-prod, and pre-shipment QC inspections
  • Price and payment-term negotiation on your behalf

  • Shipment tracking with route pressure and disruption forecasts
  • Factory scoring across risk, audit, capacity, stability, compliance
  • CBAM, EUDR, CSDDD applicability with article-level citations
  • Confidence badges throughout — missing evidence is never marked ready

Trade finance and cross-border payments designed around the realities of European SMEs sourcing from Asia. Payment-term recommendations, FX hedging suggestions, working-capital options that use the platform's own shipment and supplier data.

  • Payment-term recommendations (LC vs TT vs DA/DP) tied to supplier risk score
  • FX exposure modelling and hedging guidance
  • Trade finance options for cash-flow-constrained importers
  • Multi-currency wallet across EUR, USD, CNY, HKD, PLN

Why this works

The moat is operational, not technical.

A horizontal AI platform is easy to build and easy to copy. What you can't copy: years of supplier data, an HK office, and an EU-compliance posture built in from day one.

Hong Kong feet on the ground.

Our Hong Kong team leads logistics on the export side. Pure-digital forwarders can't match in-person supplier verification, sample consolidation, or dispute resolution at the SME price point. We can.

EU-first regulation, not an afterthought.

CBAM, EUDR, REACH, CE, RoHS, EU AI Act. Most platforms are American-centric and treat EU regs as bolt-ons. Our compliance engine is the front door, not a sidebar.

AI agents that operate the platform.

Sourcing, Compliance, Logistics, Finance, and an Operations orchestrator. Agents route, execute, and escalate to humans when it matters. Every irreversible action stays human-approved.

Asset-light by design.

No directly operated ships, planes, trucks, or warehouses. We coordinate the partners who already own that capacity. Margins stay healthy and capital requirements bounded.

Built for SME reality.

€50k–€2M annual import volume, 2–50 shipments per year. Big enough to need help, small enough that DSV and K+N won't return your call. We sit in that gap.

Polish, German, and English first.

Every meaningful page lives in EN, PL, and DE. Polish e-commerce founders, German Mittelstand, broader CEE — we speak the languages and the customs systems.
