Focus of our operations

What We Do

Discover hidden assets in Japan for your business.

Overseas companies do not always possess the necessary assets to explore what Japan can offer beyond the conventional matchmaking platforms. Travesia offers a wide range of functions necessary for local operations. We find suppliers for your sourcing needs and arrange export logistics. We liaise with manufactures for your product development in Japan. We provide tailored expansion strategies to handle your business with Japan.

 

  • We conduct meticulous research and define a workflow before reaching out to local suppliers

    Each supplier has its own considerations when deciding whether to embark on a cross-border project. We recognise the importance of visualising how they can apply their expertise in collaboration with overseas businesses.

  • We have experience both as an exporter and importer

    Whether it involves purchasing items, acquiring assets, or developing products, local and cross-border logistics are always a factor. Our firsthand experience with Japan’s complex distribution systems and regulations helps prevent potential setbacks that you might encounter.

  • We belong to a legal service firm and are familiar with the Corporate Laws

    Travesia, Inc. originally started as a consulting arm of Kano Legal Office, a solicitor’s office in Osaka that handled incorporation, property registration, and inheritance matters. The firm’s services are crucial for your long-term commitment to Japan.

 

Best Sourcing Services: let Japan provide what you want

 

We do not simply serve as a buying agent. Our notion is that the product or service design of many Japanese SMEs, from the concept to the visual presentation, often only considers the local Japanese contexts, not those of other countries.

We believe, if an overseas company brings business ideas and Japanese suppliers react with exquisite skill or profound knowledge, the result will be very original.

How we handle procurement process

  • 01. Hearing before preliminary research

    It is important to see if Japan can satisfy your business needs. We share the latest situation here through a video conference and provide good references.

  • 02. Present a quick example to align each other

    To plan, the easiest way is to see an example of prospective manufacturers or service providers. We also identify the candidate suppliers and provide related details , often only available in Japanese.

  • 03. Define specifications and the term of our services

    We discuss how we work together. We see if the project is a simple scheme of acquisition, or it requires more collaboration with suppliers.

  • 04. Start communication with local suppliers and manufacturers

    The roles of each party and the quote will be clear at this point. We set up an Airtable database and implement machine translation for better communication.

  • 05. Acquisition: regulations and logistics

    We clear regulatory issues and confirm logistics. If necessary, we can become an exporter. If the asset is immovable, we coordinate how you receive the return.

  • 06. Monitoring workflow and communication

    Once concluded, the operations become a routine. You will be working directly with the local suppliers. We can continue to serve as your local operation arm.

 
 

Featured Cases

Locating suppliers alone does not make the workflow functioning automatically. We often need to convince Japanese providers to adapt their routines to cross-border operations.


  • Fruits Suppliers across Japan

    We sourced the high quality fruits in Japan and established the supply chain for our clients in Hong Kong. We created an original brand, further enhancing the products’ values.

 
 


  • Essential Oils from Local Plants

    A fragrance manufacturer wanted raw material with clear traceability records. We sourced through agriculture and forest associations that directly looked after the plants and trees.
