Harnessing AI to Find Ideal Business Partners in International Trade


REHOBOTH BEACH, Del., Sept. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Securing trustworthy business partners in international trade has always been a challenging task, requiring years of meticulous and painstaking groundwork, careful analysis, and the courage to deal with uncertainty. This article explores how cutting-edge AI tools, such as Volza, have been innovatively tackling these persistent challenges.

Evaluating potential partners from their online presence has been a formidable hurdle. There are no foolproof methods to ensure the competency and reliability of these entities based solely on their digital footprint. Conducting in-person visits, although insightful, is both time-consuming and costly. Moreover, transactions with unfamiliar buyers could result in bad debts, while dealings with unknown suppliers might yield subpar products or even lead to a total loss of the advance payment.

These hurdles are particularly daunting for professionals in the export-import industry aiming to broaden their global trade reach. In response, an AI-Powered tool like Volza allows professionals to strategically use the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to navigate these challenges and make informed decisions. Volza provides an extensive global trade database, including complete shipment details through bills of lading. This tool arms users with essential information about active exporters and importers, capturing years of their export-import experience, current buyers and suppliers, transaction frequency, ongoing orders, shipment volumes, pricing, consignment numbers, and an exhaustive trade history. With this wealth of data, users can confidently assess and choose suitable business partners.

Vijay Sethia, Director of Chamanlal Sethia, one of India’s foremost rice exporters, testifies to the transformative impact of these tools. According to Sethia, the introduction of trade data portals has empowered them to dramatically expand their business operations. Gone are the days of protracted struggles, with years spent on marketing, traveling, and product sampling. Today, importers and exporters can swiftly map out their market, efficiently identifying trustworthy and reliable business partners in just a matter of hours.

While other trade databases like Panjiva and ImportGenius offer similar services, they seem to cover fewer countries. A glance at the Volza website shows that it provides trade data for more than 80 countries, while Panjiva and ImportGenius support a trade base across 10 and 14 countries, respectively.

Michael Robinson, Director of Volza, emphasizes their mission to expedite the entire process of identifying suitable business partners. “We aim to make it quicker, more cost-effective, and feasible. Users can bypass years of relentless effort, elevating their businesses to new heights with confidence, and in a fraction of the traditional timeframe,” he explains.

Platforms like Volza also overcome the obstacle of procuring direct contact details for key decision-makers. Whether it’s the export head, import head, or other relevant stakeholders, Volza’s built-in function provides access to their contact information and even links to their LinkedIn profiles.

In conclusion, AI’s integration into international trade is ushering in a transformative era. Platforms like Volza are making the identification and evaluation of business partners more efficient and reliable. By offering extensive trade data and essential contact information, these platforms are setting new benchmarks in the sector. It’s clear that AI-powered trade data tools are more than clever business strategies; they are now a prerequisite for success in the globalized marketplace. As AI and Big Data technologies continue to evolve, their impact on facilitating international trade will only expand, heralding a future where global business expansion is seamless and confident.

Founded in 2017, Volza is dedicated to propelling global business expansion for export-import companies. Harnessing advanced analytics and dashboard tools, Volza unveils hidden opportunities and threats, empowering import-export businesses to thrive in today’s competitive market.

Drawing on the comprehensive guidance provided by the Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA) for DSCSA exception data capture, categorization, and tracking, TraceLink has developed this exception management capability to ensure compliance with federal laws, FDA regulations, and industry guidance while accelerating resolution time to keep products flowing through the supply chain. This capability is also available to assist with exception handling in other global markets.

Our new capability equips supply chain stakeholders with the tools they need to address exceptions collaboratively, ensuring product integrity and patient safety.”

TraceLink recognizes how important it is to quickly and reliably resolve exceptions related to DSCSA, a key element at the heart of why the FDA recently called for a 12 month stabilization period for DSCSA compliance. TraceLink has invested heavily into new capabilities to arm trade partners with the tools they need to collaboratively address such exceptions.

HungryPanda’s International Delivery Rider Appreciation Day to Celebrate and Honor Food Delivery Heroes

NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — HungryPanda, the world’s leading overseas Asian food delivery platform is delighted to unveil a special addition to Chase’s Calendar of Events 2024: International Delivery Rider Appreciation Day. Marked annually on August 18th, this momentous occasion pays tribute to the hardworking and dedicated food delivery riders who tirelessly connect us with delicious meals and make our lives easier.


International Delivery Rider Appreciation Day holds great significance for both HungryPanda and its community of delivery riders. The chosen date, August 18, has been thoughtfully selected to symbolize the exceptional efforts of riders. The number combination “818” resembles the silhouette of a rider’s bicycle with bags on top, visually capturing the essence of their integral role in the food delivery process. Moreover, the phonetic similarity between the sound of “8” and “eat” fosters a delightful connection with the very essence of food, further strengthening the bond between riders and the joy of dining experiences.

HungryPanda has conceived International Delivery Rider Appreciation Day with a heartfelt mission: to recognize, respect, and reward the relentless dedication of food delivery riders. These remarkable individuals go above and beyond, braving various challenges to ensure prompt and efficient deliveries. On this special day, HungryPanda will shine a well-deserved spotlight on their extraordinary contributions. The event will feature a diverse range of initiatives aimed at honoring the dedication of delivery riders including distributing ‘Panda Care Boxes,’ setting up rider stations with fresh food and water, and introducing a new voice system in the HungryPanda app that allows riders to select a virtual companion to accompany them on future delivery journeys.

“We are incredibly proud to introduce International Delivery Rider Appreciation Day and celebrate the invaluable role our food delivery riders play in connecting communities with their favorite meals, ” said Kelu Liu, Founder and CEO of HungryPanda. “Their dedication and hard work deserve our utmost admiration and appreciation. This special day is our way of expressing gratitude and recognizing their relentless efforts in making our lives easier and more enjoyable.”

Earlier this year, HungryPanda underwent a visual rebrand, transitioning from its primary brand colors of blue and white to the highly visible combination of yellow and black. The decision was made after consulting experts and conducting a detailed study on the most prominent safety colors for transportation. The results conclusively identified yellow as the most visible color, particularly at night. By adopting this color scheme, HungryPanda aims to enhance the safety and visibility of its delivery riders, providing them with an added layer of protection while navigating the streets.

Join HungryPanda in commemorating International Delivery Rider Appreciation Day and let us collectively express deep appreciation for these remarkable individuals who enhance our lives one delivery at a time. Together, we can celebrate their dedication, recognize their invaluable contributions, and foster a culture of gratitude and support within the food delivery community.
