Asia-to-Latin America trade facilitation and wholesale import platform
Compras en Asia operates a wholesale import-export bridge connecting Asian manufacturers to buyers across Latin America, with operational scale across logistics, customs, and supply-chain orchestration. The tech stack—SAP, CRM, GPS, POS, plus Adobe and AutoCAD—reflects a trade-operations business heavily dependent on manual documentation and logistics coordination. Hiring is weighted toward operations and logistics (19 of 34 roles), with pain points centered on shipping-line release workflows and FCL documentation—suggesting friction in the back-office processes that coordinate with carriers and customs authorities.
Compras en Asia is a trade agent based in Quito, Ecuador, that consolidates commercial relationships between Asian manufacturers and importers throughout Latin America. Founded in 2006, the company handles the full transaction lifecycle: procurement, financial structuring, logistics, and customs brokerage. The core service eliminates friction between Latin American buyers seeking reliable long-term supplier relationships and Asian factories. Operations span import-export coordination, warehouse management, and product procurement across multiple categories (textiles, electronics, general wholesale goods). The company operates at a 501–1,000 employee scale, with most headcount deployed in operational and logistics functions rather than sales or technology.
Compras en Asia acts as a commercial intermediary connecting Asian manufacturers directly with importers across Latin America, managing the full transaction cycle including procurement, financing, logistics, and customs documentation.
Compras en Asia is headquartered in Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador, and currently hiring in Guatemala, expanding regional operational presence.
The company operates on SAP, CRM platforms, GPS tracking, Microsoft Office, POS systems, and Adobe Creative Suite—a traditional enterprise and logistics tech stack reflecting manual-intensive import-export workflows.
