AFTER THE BORDER

The shipment lands, the market decides

Import export data shows what crossed a border, in what volume, and at what declared value. An export strategy also needs to know whether the product sells on arrival, which turns on consumers, store owners, and the landed price.

Trade data shows what already moved

Trade data covers past flows between two countries. A product new to a market needs a separate read: what local consumers would buy.

Sena:Sena captures what consumers buy now and would pay, by segment and market.

Landed cost meets the local price

The team's files hold the cost to land a product. The price that wins the sale comes from the market.

Sena:Sena captures what consumers would pay and what store owners say their buyers accept, by segment and market.

Partner store lists need a photo

Importer and distributor partners report the stores they sell to. The stores with the product on display are a separate count.

Sena:Sena captures a dated, geo-verified photo in each store a question names, and the display count sits beside the partner's list.

The decisions

Four decisions import and export teams make

These four decisions build an export strategy from the destination market, beside the team's own trade files.

Decision 01

Pick the next export market

Consumers state what they buy now and what would make them switch to the import, by segment and market.

Decides:Which export market gets the next shipment.

See strategy decisions →
Decision 02

Set the price each market accepts

Sena puts the price consumers name and the price store owners accept beside the landed cost in the team's own files.

Decides:Which markets clear the margin, and at which price.

See revenue and pricing decisions →
Decision 03

Confirm the product reached store displays

Sena captures geo-verified photos in the stores a question names and sets the stores showing the product against the partner's store list.

Decides:Which importer partner the export sales team backs with the next order.

See sales decisions →
Decision 04

Adapt pack and label for each market

Store owners state why they stock an imported product or pass on it, from pack size to label language, and consumers state what they would change, by segment and market.

Decides:Which pack, label, or price change ships with the next order.

HOW A TEAM CHECKS EACH MARKET

Every destination figure traces to a capture

Before a shipment decision, a team opens any figure to its consumer answer or store photo and reads it beside its own trade analytics.

Consented answers from consumers and store owners

Each destination answer comes by choice from a member of Sena's consumer network.

Store photos with a place and date

Each photo shows whether the product is on display, with the store's location and date. Every capture clears a multi-level QA flow before it counts. Sena declines a capture that misses the check, and the decline stays visible.

MARKET READINESS

Count the stores ready to stock it

An export strategy for a new market starts with two counts: the stores on the partner's list and the share of store owners who would stock the product at the planned price. The team enters the share and checks it against store owner answers.

  • The price and pack size store owners say their buyers accept
  • The store types most ready to stock, city by city
  • Monthly sales in reach, priced from the team's per-store figure

FAQ

Questions import and export teams ask

01 What is an export strategy?
An export strategy is a company's plan for which foreign markets to enter, with which products, at what price, and through which partners. Sena, a Decision AI with access to real-world data, brings decision intelligence to import and export teams by adding consumer and store owner answers and store photos from the destination market to the team's trade files, so each figure traces to the answer or photo behind it.
02 How do teams get import and export data?
Teams get import and export data from government trade statistics, customs filings, and the shipment files in their own systems. Sena reads the files a team uploads beside consumer and store owner answers and dated store photos from the destination market.
03 What does export data show?
Export data shows what a country or company shipped abroad, by product, destination, and value. Sena adds what consumers in each destination would buy and pay, so an export strategy weighs consumer demand beside trade flows and picks the destination with buyers ready to pay.
04 What is trade analytics?
Trade analytics compares flows, prices, and partners to find where a product can grow. Sena adds the destination market to trade data: consumer and store owner answers by segment and market, plus geo-verified photos of the named stores that display the product, before the first shipment leaves.
05 How does landed cost shape the export price?
Landed cost adds product cost, freight, duty, insurance, and handling to set the floor for a price in each market. Sena captures what consumers would pay and what store owners accept, so a team sees which markets clear its margin above that floor.
06 How does an import export business choose new markets?
An import export business weighs demand, price, partners, and the rules of entry in each candidate market. Sena captures the demand and price side from consumers and store owners, by segment and market, and dated photos show what the stores a question names already display.
07 Which systems does Sena connect to for import and export teams?
Sena connects to the systems import and export teams already run across 250+ integrations, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics, and reads uploaded Excel, CSV, and PDF files. Consumer answers and store photos join that data, so one answer covers the team's import export data and the destination market.
