The trade copilot for African SMEsExport like you have a whole trade team.
Ask it anything about selling your product abroad — where the demand is, whether it qualifies, what paperwork you need, and how to get it there.
Strong demand in Egypt, the UAE, and South Africa — and routes where it lands duty-free.

It's not the product. It's the path.
The barrier to exporting is rarely what an SME makes — it's the whole journey out: finding the market, working out what the product is in customs terms, getting the documents and certificates right, and clearing the border.
Each step has historically needed an expensive specialist — a market consultant, a customs broker, a trade analyst. Few SMEs can afford one at every turn, so most never try. The opportunity is real; the path is what stops them.
Ask in plain language. Get grounded answers, one step at a time.
No forms to learn, no jargon to decode. You describe your product and where you want to sell it; the copilot does the trade legwork and shows its working, with the rule and the source cited.
Tell it what you make
Describe your product and where you want to sell it, in your own words. No HS code or trade vocabulary needed — the copilot asks what it needs to know.
Classify it and find the rule
The copilot pins down what your product is in customs terms and surfaces the origin rule that applies across the agreements you can use — guidance you can act on, with the rule cited.
Get the documents and the steps
Which documents you need, which body issues each one, whether the certificate you already hold is valid, and the steps to ship it to your buyer.
One platform. Two sides of the same trade.
Exporters get a copilot that helps them sell abroad. The organisations that serve them get a console to engage their members and prove their impact. Member usage is the impact data — the two sides feed each other.
You make the products. The copilot walks the export maze.
Ask it anything about selling abroad and it answers in plain language — grounded in real trade rules and real procedures, not a chatbot improvising.
- Across the whole journey — where to sell, what your product is in customs terms, the documents you need, and how to ship it.
- Grounded, not guessing — the origin rule that applies and the steps to follow, with the source cited, so you can act on it.
- Built for your sector — agri-processors, light manufacturers, food & beverage, leather and textiles.
Engage your members. Prove your impact.
Give your members a copilot they'll log in for — and get the console to serve, understand, and report on them. Carried under your own brand.
- A knowledge base you curate — your guidance, your forms, your corridors, delivered to members inside the copilot.
- Surveys, notifications & M&E — reach members where they are and measure export readiness, with evidence you can report to a board and donors.
- The cohort, never the member — you see aggregate engagement and readiness trends; what a member tells the copilot stays private to them. That boundary is why they trust it.
What the copilot does today — and next.
Broad across the export journey, deep where it pays. The classification and origin work is live and verified today; market research, the partner console, and downstream finance follow as partners need them.

Grounded in real rules, honest about its limits — not a chatbot improvising.
The copilot is built to put expertise within reach, not to replace the expert. Its answers are anchored in a curated trade corpus, it shows you the source, and it tells you plainly when something needs a professional.
Grounded answers, with the source shown
High-stakes answers — classification and origin — sit on a curated rules corpus, not a model's best guess. Every answer points back to the rule it came from, so you can check it.
The cohort, never the member
What you tell the copilot stays private to you. Your BMO sees aggregate engagement and readiness trends across its members — never an individual member's private business. That boundary is the point.
Version-controlled rules database
Every tariff schedule and origin rule is versioned. When an agreement changes, we update the corpus — and the copilot draws on the current rule, not a stale one.
Ask the copilot about your product.
Describe what you make in plain language. The copilot will show you where you could sell it, what it is in customs terms, and what it takes to get it there — no account needed to start the conversation.
Give your members a copilot they'll use — and the impact data to prove it.
A 30-minute conversation about your members and what you need to show your board. No slides, no fluff.
