The five steps

Choose a market. Build the project. Find support. Move forward.

  1. Choose a market

    Compare markets using demand and tariff data for your product, and open any market for its economic indicators. See where your product may have the strongest opportunity.

    The Markets list in Promote:Global, filterable by region: the United Arab Emirates and the Netherlands with two active projects each at Preparing, China with one at Researching, then Botswana and Germany with one active project each

  2. Choose how to enter

    Compare different ways to enter the market, including exporting, distributors, licensing, joint ventures and setting up locally. Meridian can help you compare the options, but you make the final choice.

    18 entry options available

    The route advisor in Promote:Global after its questions: your best-fit ways into South Africa, with a distributor marked best fit above an online marketplace and a turnkey project, each rated for commitment, control and risk

  3. Build the project

    Turn your chosen market into a step-by-step project: the documents a shipment needs, or the registration, licensing and hiring steps a local setup needs.

    The Fresh blueberries to South Africa export project from Zimbabwe, by road in reefer trucks via Beitbridge, at 8 of 12 steps, with its next action to book reefer road freight to Johannesburg and the reason it comes now

  4. Find people who can help

    Search for possible buyers and distributors, and find the trade agencies, chambers, advisors and service providers that can help.

    Search by market and service, and request an introduction when you are ready.

    The provider directory a company searches in Promote:Global: a search field, a card to search the web when nobody listed fits, a find-an-advisor card, and self-listed providers grouped by what they do, with freight and logistics, warehousing and 3PL and cold chain under Logistics and freight, each category showing how many are listed

  5. Track the work

    Keep your tasks, documents and progress together. See what is complete, what is still open and what needs your attention next.

    You can also create export documents and log revenue by market.

    The end of an export project’s roadmap to South Africa, shipping the first order locked until the road freight is booked, above the project’s resources: $18,500 of revenue logged and 1 of 3 documents obtained

Meridian, beside every page

Meridian works from your project.

Meridian already knows the company, product, market and project you are working on. It can also look up current trade information while answering your question.

  • Knows your context

    You do not need to explain your company, product and project every time you ask a question.

  • Looks up relevant information

    Meridian can check tariffs, rules of origin, documents and other market information when needed.

  • Shows its sources

    See what information came from Promote:Global, your own files and external sources.

  • You stay in control

    Meridian can suggest changes to your project, but nothing is added until you approve it.

Ask about the project in front of you.

Nine real questions on one blueberry project, each answered from the project and labeled with the data or tool it used.

Meridian is AI. Verify before acting.
