HOW DID IT ALL START?
Our story is simple, and we've learned everything from experience. When our founder was living in New York in 2013, Nicolás saw an unmet niche: the lack of importers/distributors focused on SMEs in Latin America.
After a while, a major problem became apparent: every company wanted to export, but almost no one knew how. The lack of knowledge was enormous, and we had the know-how. Added to this was the growing increase in online sales, which led us to begin exploring the world of marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart, eBay, MercadoLibre, among others).
This entire journey was filled with missteps and errors, but also with learning, which has led us to become the leading cross-border e-commerce company in Latin America, and today we have more than 400 clients in Latin America.
Eighty percent of our clients are in Chile, with the remaining 20% spread across Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, and the US. Our clients span a wide range of categories, and while LAP's natural customer base is SMEs, we have clients of all sizes, from microenterprises to publicly traded companies.
