Private Beta — Korean Market Intelligence
Catch the Korean wave. Before it breaks in Japan.
A daily market intelligence brief for Japan cross-border operators — with net margin estimates and import gap analysis delivered every morning.
The problem
Manual trend-hunting doesn't scale.
Cross-border operators check Korean platforms manually, calculate margins in spreadsheets, and still can't tell whether Japan already has supply. By the time you've done the work, the window is usually closed.
Hours scanning Korean platforms every day — by hand
Margin calculations that miss fees, duty, and FX drift
No visibility on Japan supply — sourcing without knowing if you're late
01 / Margin intelligence
The number you actually make.
Landed cost calculated automatically from source price. Import duties, FX buffer, Qoo10 and BuyMA platform fees — net margin after everything is accounted for. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.
02 / Gap analysis
Know if Japan already has supply.
Every signal is cross-referenced against live Qoo10 and BuyMA listings. Low gap score means you'd be first in. High gap score means the market is saturated. Source with confidence, not guesswork.
03 / Morning brief
Three signals. Every morning at 07:00.
Top-ranked import candidates in your dashboard before your competitors open their inbox — scored by margin potential, Japan market gap, and Korean trend momentum. Ready to act on immediately.
