The main problems were difficulty in matching with sellers, difficulty in establishing overseas logistics and payment methods, and the need for communication in foreign languages. In particular, we did not have any employees who were fluent in Chinese, and we felt that there was a language barrier.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, we had attempted to enter the Chinese market, but it was extremely difficult for an unknown company to compete with major players, and the promotional costs were enormous, so it was unsuccessful. Faced with these problems, we were looking for a partner that could efficiently support our trade operations when we learned about STANDAGE&#039;s &quot;Omakase Trade&quot; and decided to implement it.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"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); background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary);\">What exactly did it entail?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>STANADGE&#039;s &quot;Leave-it-to-us Trading&quot; service is of great value to us, especially the matching with local partners. We also greatly appreciate the logistical support and the ability to communicate smoothly with overseas partners. As a result, the challenges we previously faced have been resolved, and we are now able to conduct our business smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>We are greatly attracted to the fact that we can receive end-to-end support, from partner selection and logistics to business negotiations. Previously, we had to arrange each part individually, which often led to delays in coordination and progress, but now we can entrust everything to them, which has made operations much more efficient.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6039 size-large\" style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0471-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0471-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0471-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0471-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0471-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0471-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0471-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0471-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What results have you achieved since implementing it?<\/h2>\n<p>Since implementing the system, the most noticeable benefit has been the expansion of our reach. We can now access markets that were previously inaccessible, leading to more business opportunities. Additionally, the reduction in cumbersome tasks has allowed us to focus our resources more on our core business.<\/p>\n<p>What impressed us most was the comprehensive support provided by STANDAGE. This reduced our anxieties about entering overseas markets and allowed us to take on challenges without taking significant risks. With all processes in place, we were able to proceed with our transactions with great confidence.<\/p>\n<h2>What kind of support do you expect from Omakase Trading in the future?<\/h2>\n<p>We look forward to the provision of even more features in the future. In particular, we believe that a matching function connecting overseas and domestic manufacturers would make it much easier to find business partners. We also feel that an increase in opportunities for direct business negotiations could further expand our business.<\/p>\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<figure id=\"attachment_6040\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6040\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6040 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6cd493fbc2898ecfe243591bac36e6d5-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6cd493fbc2898ecfe243591bac36e6d5-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6cd493fbc2898ecfe243591bac36e6d5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6cd493fbc2898ecfe243591bac36e6d5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6cd493fbc2898ecfe243591bac36e6d5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6cd493fbc2898ecfe243591bac36e6d5-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6cd493fbc2898ecfe243591bac36e6d5-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6cd493fbc2898ecfe243591bac36e6d5-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6cd493fbc2898ecfe243591bac36e6d5-1568x1568.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The propolis, transported to the company&#039;s headquarters factory in Kumamoto Prefecture, is extracted and concentrated using a unique process before being made into candy.<\/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. Osawa of Morikawa Health Co., Ltd.<\/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>&quot;Omakase Trading&quot; is an extremely valuable service for small and medium-sized enterprises like ours.
