The problem

Export expansion lives in a slide deck and a consultant's inbox

"Are we ready for Germany?" lives in a slide deck. "What does Japan require?" lives in a consultant's reply. The packing list for the Brazilian shipment lives in the freight forwarder's email. The readiness checklist for the next market lives nowhere — and nobody is sure which version is current.

Response365 makes each target market a tracked record: a scored readiness assessment, a product-market status, a document package, and the milestones to go live — all read from the same product, customer, certification and inventory data the rest of the business runs on.

Why it's different

A structure for market entry, not a checklist app

Readiness, scored

A structured assessment scores each target market across product, regulatory, commercial and operational dimensions. The score has a breakdown, not just a colour.

Product × market status

Every product has a status in every target market — researching, in approval, ready, live or paused — with the evidence that backs the call.

Documents on demand

Generate the document package a destination market requires — straight from product, batch and customer data already in the platform. Nobody retypes.

From idea to first shipment

A market-entry pipeline you can actually run

Each target market moves through the same stages. The export project is real work — managed alongside the rest of the business in Project Management.

1
Target

Add a candidate market with strategic rationale, distance, language and regulatory regime captured up front.

2
Assess

Run the readiness assessment across product, regulatory, commercial, logistical and operational dimensions.

3
Plan

Convert the gaps into milestones and tasks with owners, dates and dependencies.

4
Certify

Track certifications, registrations and approvals required by the destination market.

5
Document

Generate the export document package on demand — commercial invoice, certificate of origin, packing list, declarations.

6
Ship

Hand off to Global Trade Compliance for customs and logistics, with the same documents.

7
Live

Product-market status flips to live; ongoing obligations track as recurring tasks. same record, end to end

Readiness assessment

An honest answer to "are we ready?" — per market

The structured readiness assessment is the centrepiece. It is graded, not narrated.

  • Eight dimensionsproduct fit, regulatory, certifications, labelling, logistics, commercial, finance, operations
  • A score with a breakdown0–100 per dimension, weighted into one composite — every drop in score has a reason
  • Gaps become tasksevery red item generates a milestone with an owner, not a comment in a slide
  • Versioned historylast quarter's assessment is preserved next to this quarter's — board-meeting evidence, not memory

Product × market status

Every product, in every market, with one status

The matrix nobody maintains in spreadsheets — maintained for you, because the underlying data already exists.

  • One status per cellresearching, in approval, ready, live, paused or withdrawn — never two answers at once
  • Evidence attachedeach status carries the certificate, approval letter or test report behind it
  • Renewal calendarcertifications with expiry dates trigger tasks before they lapse — not after a customs hold
  • Reads from product dataingredients, materials, classifications and HS codes already live in the platform — no second master

Document packages

The paperwork each market wants — generated, not retyped

A market doesn't ask for "an export document". It asks for the right twelve documents, in the right format, with the right references. Each package is defined per market — and produced from the same product, batch and order data the rest of the platform uses.

  • 12+ document typescommercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, conformity declarations, phytosanitary, health certificates, labels, transport docs
  • Per-market templateseach destination has its own document package — the right header, the right fields, the right language
  • Drawn from live dataHS codes, batch numbers, customer addresses, prices and Incoterms pulled in, not copy-pasted
  • Versioned and signedevery revision logged, with the user, the change and the timestamp — auditor-ready

Export as a project

The work nobody owns — given an owner

Milestones with dates

"Certification submitted", "label approved", "first shipment cleared" — each a real milestone with a date, an owner and a dependency graph. Slip one and the next surfaces immediately.

Cross-functional tasks

Regulatory, R&D, packaging, finance, logistics — every export project pulls people from the rest of the business. Tasks land in their normal workspace, not in a separate tool.

Status to the board

One view: target markets, readiness scores, milestones at risk, certifications expiring, products live. The export programme stops being "we'll get back to you in two weeks".

Connected to trade & logistics

Where readiness ends, the shipment begins

Once a product-market is live, the documents and classifications already exist — and feed straight into the systems that move goods.

  • Hand-off to Global TradeHS codes, classifications, certificates and document packages pre-populated for customs
  • Food markets via Food Tradelot, batch and origin data travel with the shipment — HACCP-aware, not parked in a binder
  • Project view in Project Managementthe same milestones surface alongside every other project the business runs

The business case

What this means in euros

The conservative annual case for a mid-sized exporter taking products into three to five new markets.

€40–90k
Replace consulting hours

Readiness reviews, market briefs and document checklists turned into a structured assessment your team runs in-house.

€60–140k
Reach new markets faster

Two to four months removed from each market-entry plan — revenue starts earlier, working capital recycles sooner.

€20–50k
Avoid customs delays

Correct documents, current certifications and matched HS codes — fewer holds, fewer demurrage invoices, fewer rework cycles.

€120–280krecoverable in year one

Before counting the markets a clearer readiness picture lets you take on — and the ones you correctly choose not to. Ranges, not promises: outcomes depend on market mix and product portfolio.

From "are we ready?" to "the documents are signed"

Let us show you in seven minutes how a readiness assessment scores a target market, generates the milestone plan, and hands the document package off to customs — all from product and customer data already on the platform.
