About us

Not a team that "knows" exports —
a team that makes them work

ITOS doesn't treat trade as theory. We've sold in the field, designed and run programs that support SMEs, and built national-scale export networks. And the government has officially recognized these results. These four things set ITOS apart from typical overseas sales agencies.

Why us

The four paths ITOS has travelled

This isn't one person's résumé — it's carried through by the team's execution. Specialists in market research, English content, web/design, and buyer discovery each own their stage directly.

01

Private-sector trade experience

People who have actually sold

Years spent on the front lines of import/export sales are the team's roots. Execution is handled by people who know the process of finding buyers, pitching, negotiating, and closing contracts firsthand — not from documents. It's an approach proven by results, not theory-only consulting.

02

Running KITA's marketing platform

People who have supported SMEs

We planned and ran the association's online and offline export marketing system for about 10 years. Having handled SME support programs and government assistance schemes from the inside, we can make realistic calls on which support to connect and how.

03

Building national ODA export networks

People who have led national-scale projects

We led and took responsibility for building overseas ODA export platforms in Uzbekistan, the Philippines, and elsewhere for about 5 years. We bring that same planning capability and leadership — designing and running the structure that makes exports work, not just doing sales — directly to your project.

04

National commendations

An official seal of recognition from the government

The MOTIE Minister's Award and the KITA Meritorious Service Award aren't labels ITOS gave itself — they're the result of the government confirming our contribution on the ground in trade, in SME support, and in export promotion.

Why this partnership

Why work with ITOS

Export managers tend to open with the same handful of problems when they first contact ITOS. Here are those six, and exactly how ITOS answers each one.

“We don't know which country to target first.”

We narrow the market with numbers, not instinct

A seven-section report — market opportunity, competition, tariffs and certification, distribution, entry strategy, risk, and profitability — researched from scratch for every engagement. No filler generalities: around 20 pages containing only what you need to decide.

“We have no English materials to send buyers.”

A short intake form is all it takes

Fill in your company and product details on the application form, and a 15-page English company profile plus a two-language website (English + your target-market language) arrive finished. You don't have to prepare the materials yourself.

“We don't know where to find buyers.”

We shortlist only buyers with verified trade history

From a database of over one million global buyers, we select only those that match your product and show confirmed import/export activity. Nothing is hidden — you receive 100% of the outreach list.

“We send emails and never hear back.”

We reach out over a month, not all at once

Fifteen companies per business day, 300 companies over one month. Every email introduces your latest published article as a sourcing guide, and opens, replies, and lead conversions are shared daily in Notion.

“Inquiries come in, but nobody here can reply in English.”

Your manager corresponds with buyers directly

Inquiries from the main site, the blog, and your own website land in one inbox and are sorted in real time. We don't just forward them — your dedicated manager negotiates directly, all the way through LOI/MOU and customs and forwarding coordination.

“We hand it over and then have no idea what's happening.”

Progress stays open to you 24/7

A dedicated Notion portal opens the moment your contract starts. Deliverables and source files, email open and reply figures, and incoming buyer inquiries — all visible directly, without having to ask anyone.

What makes us different

What sets ITOS apart from other marketing companies?

Export support is usually split between firms that produce your materials and firms that find your buyers. ITOS ties the whole journey together, easing the burden on your company in four concrete ways.

No need to split the work across vendors

Market research, company profile, and website production; buyer discovery; email and blog marketing; inquiry handling; and contract and customs coordination all run through ITOS. You never repeat the same briefing to a new vendor.

One point of contact through every stage

Research, production, marketing, inquiries, contracts — one dedicated manager stays with your company from start to finish. Context never gets lost in a handover between stages.

You can see progress without asking

A dedicated Notion portal opens with your contract. Deliverables, weekly blog publishing results, email open and reply figures, and incoming buyer inquiries are all shared in real time, with nothing held back.

Everything produced stays your asset

Your company profile and website come with the source files, and the website is deployed on a dedicated address for your company. Even after a deal closes, buyer inquiries keep being forwarded to you for a full year.
