Before you build a plan
Questions about the services.
How is the work priced?
By proposal. Tell us the question and the markets; we propose the services that answer it as one monthly amount against named deliverables. Managed programmes add a revenue share, paid only when revenue is realised. Scope and fee are confirmed on the scoping call within one business day.
How long does each service take?
Most services are delivered in one to two weeks per market. A Partner Shortlist takes five working days per market and Partner Reliability & Engagement ten. Performance Optimisation takes two to four weeks. The Full Managed Solution is ongoing.
Which service should a brand start with?
If you have not chosen a market, start with Market Prioritisation: a data-backed ranking of Asian markets for your category. If the market is chosen, start with Market Readiness Assessment and Value Chain pricing together - they tell you whether the market is open to you and whether the margin survives the journey to shelf. If you are already in a market and it is underperforming, start with Brand Performance Assessment and Partner Reliability & Engagement together - they tell you whether the partner or the market is the problem.
What does "verified data" mean in practice?
Each deliverable is built by ATM analysts from market data, channel checks and partner conversations in the target market, then reviewed and signed off by a senior consultant before it reaches you. Sources and assumptions are stated in the report, so your board can see where a number came from.
Can services be combined into one programme?
Yes. The services are modular. Brands commonly run Market Prioritisation, Readiness and Value Chain together as an entry decision pack, then add Partner Shortlist and Reliability & Engagement once the market is confirmed. The plan builder on this page prices a combination and sends it to us as one brief.
Is the work delivered through a platform or as a report?
As a report with a walkthrough, delivered through the iTradeHub client area where your documents and partner introductions are kept in one place. You do not need to sign up to anything before your first service; access is set up at scoping.
