Exporta.ai: how we built our AI-powered export software

After 30 years of doing market analysis, importer searches and trade fairs by hand, Vycte has turned that method into Exporta.ai, an AI-powered export platform for SMEs.

Exporta.ai: how we built our AI-powered export software

At Vycte we have spent more than 30 years helping SMEs sell abroad. We have supported exports to more than 40 countries and worked at more than 300 international trade fairs. For most of that time, much of the work was done by hand: downloading trade statistics, cross-checking data in spreadsheets, searching for importers one by one and typing up the business cards collected at each fair.

That is where Exporta.ai comes from. It is the AI-powered export platform we built at Vycte so that any SME can do in minutes what used to take weeks. You paste your company website and it tells you which countries have demand, at what price you can enter and who will buy from you.

Why we decided to build it

Every export project starts with the same questions: which country should I target, at what price can I compete and who is going to buy. Answering them well takes official data, time and method. We saw that artificial intelligence could automate the repetitive part without losing a consultant's judgement, so we built the tool we would have liked to have.

Exporta.ai is also proof of how we approach digitalisation: we do not only implement third-party software, we also design and develop our own AI products.

What Exporta.ai does

  • Market analysis: describe your product or service, or enter its HS Code, and get a country ranking based on official UN Comtrade trade data (more than 190 countries), plus a country report with a verdict and a maximum EXW price.
  • AI client finder: importers, distributors, shops or hotels in the country you choose, and the person who makes the purchasing decision with a verified email. Counting results is free.
  • Trade fairs: capture contacts with a QR code, a photo of the business card read by OCR and voice notes, so no lead ends up forgotten in a drawer.
  • AI CRM: an opportunity pipeline and AI-drafted emails and LinkedIn messages, which you send from your own mailbox.
  • Document translation: technical sheets, catalogues and contracts translated while keeping the original format.
  • Xport: an assistant that answers export questions such as entry requirements, certifications, competitors or trade fairs.

It also cleans and validates contact databases and includes a finder for internationalisation grants, still in beta.

Who it is for

It is for export directors who need to choose markets and justify the decision, international sales reps who need to find buyers in each country and export managers who handle several companies. More broadly, it is for any SME that wants to open markets without a research department behind it.

The app is available in Spanish, English, Catalan and Portuguese, and data is hosted in the European Union in line with the GDPR.

Start with the free plan

Exporta.ai has a free plan with no credit card and no expiry date, including trial quotas for the main tools. You can analyse your first markets and see how many potential buyers there are before committing to anything. You will find it at Exporta.ai.

Do it yourself or let our team do it

There are two ways to work. You can use Exporta.ai on your own and run the prospecting yourself. Or you can rely on the Vycte team, which uses the same tool within our outsourced export department and B2B client acquisition services: we choose markets, find distributors, prepare trade fairs and track progress with KPIs.

Many companies combine both: the in-house team uses Exporta.ai day to day and Vycte handles the strategy and the most demanding markets. If you want to know which option suits you best, tell us through the contact page.
