Until now, we had avoided expanding into the African and Middle Eastern markets, but we recognized that there were new business opportunities there. However, the reality was that we were unable to take the plunge due to a lack of local information and a lack of business network.<br \/>\nThat&#039;s when I was introduced to STANDAGE&#039;s trade agency service, &quot;Omakase Trading,&quot; and I was particularly attracted to its support for expanding into the African market. I thought that receiving support for trade shows, especially in Nigeria, would accelerate the promotion of our products for the African market, so I decided to implement it.<\/p>\n<h2>What exactly did it entail?<\/h2>\n<p>Since implementing the system, the aspect we&#039;ve found most valuable is the &quot;real-time, on-the-ground information&quot; that STANDAGE provides. Especially in Africa, where internet access is limited, directly understanding the local situation is crucial. The accurate information STANDAGE provides about markets we haven&#039;t yet explored is extremely valuable.<br \/>\nFurthermore, thanks to STANDAGE&#039;s quick arrangements, we were able to exhibit our products at the Lagos Fair last November. The fact that we were able to smoothly achieve something we couldn&#039;t have done on our own, thanks to their support, is a significant accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5992 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0287-1-1024x716.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0287-1-1024x716.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0287-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0287-1-768x537.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0287-1-1536x1074.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0287-1-2048x1432.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0287-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0287-1-1568x1097.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What results have you achieved since implementing it?<\/h2>\n<p>Since it has only been about five months since implementation, it may take some time before we can talk about concrete results. However, there has been significant progress in streamlining operations. We have been able to obtain information about the African market, which was previously out of our reach, and we feel that there are signs of further expansion in the future. In addition, being able to exhibit at trade shows has increased opportunities to introduce our products directly to locals, and we feel that we have taken a step towards expanding our sales channels.<br \/>\nAlthough business hasn&#039;t started yet, the peace of mind knowing that STANDAGE will support us in the upcoming transactions is a very important factor. In particular, the fact that STANDAGE will act as an intermediary when determining payment terms with local companies, which helps reduce risk, is a major advantage.<\/p>\n<h2>What kind of support do you expect from Omakase Trading in the future?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden @container\/thread\">\n<div class=\"h-full\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-lmwem-79elbk h-full\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-lmwem-1n7m0yu\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm md:pb-9\">\n<article class=\"w-full scroll-mb-[var(--thread-trailing-height,150px)] text-token-text-primary focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-[-4px]\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-7\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"m-auto text-base py-[18px] px-3 md:px-4 w-full md:px-5 lg:px-4 xl:px-5\">\n<div class=\"mx-auto flex flex-1 gap-4 text-base md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 md:max-w-3xl\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words text-start [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"871b758f-b5d9-4b6f-b226-1ae818202c79\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o-mini\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>Going forward, we plan to further utilize STANDAGE&#039;s &quot;Trade Cloud&quot; to improve the efficiency of our operations. We expect that by using Trade Cloud to manage tasks and share documents, we will be able to streamline our business processes even more effectively, replacing the tasks we previously handled via email and phone.<br \/>\nFurthermore, we would like to request your continued provision of local information. In particular, in the African market, information that cannot be obtained online and insights into the local situation are extremely important, and we feel that the information provided by STANDAGE will continue to be crucial in the future.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5993\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5993 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1657-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1657-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1657-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1657-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1657-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1657-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1657-1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1657-1-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We will be exhibiting at &quot;Lagos International Trade Fair 2024,&quot; Nigeria&#039;s largest comprehensive trade fair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--heading--font-family); font-size: var(--heading--font-size-h2); font-weight: var(--heading--font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--heading--letter-spacing-h2);\">Comment from Mr. Niisato of Fujikemi Trading<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>STANDAGE&#039;s &quot;Leave-it-to-us Trading&quot; service is extremely useful and a reliable partner for our business.
