The Organization of Women in International Trade Links with ImportGenius.com to Get Data in Hands of Female Entrepreneurs

The nation's leading organization of women engaged in international trade and its top provider of import-export data have joined forces.

The agreement between the Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT) and ImportGenius.com will give female entrepreneurs and executives access to detailed reports on the shipping activities of competitors, suppliers, and would-be suppliers.

By tapping into the shipping manifests of all ocean freight shipments entering the country and making that data available through its web site, ImportGenius.com has transformed the way businesses check up on overseas factories. The data helps companies big and small to find trustworthy trading partners and avoid fraud.

By offering a generous discount on subscriptions to the trade data business, Import Genius will help OWIT fulfill its mission of connecting women involved in international trade and supporting them with tools and knowledge needed to succeed in the global economy.

Import Genius meanwhile hopes the partnership will help the business achieve its vision of democratizing global trade through technology. The company's detailed records of what suppliers ship to U.S. customers offer a view into the trading relationships, shipping volumes, and product trends for millions of American importers and their suppliers.

"International trade for a really long time has been a male-dominated business, so we're super pleased to be able to help ambitious women looking to break into the business," says Ryan Petersen, Co-Founder of Import Genius.

Jamie Jennett, Customer Success Leader for Import Genius says, "given the historic trends and popular perception of the import-export industry, a surprisingly huge percentage of our customers are women. From shoe designers to nail salons to yoga studio owners building their own clothing lines, the import industry offers a wide array of options for female entrepreneurs and many of them are already using our data services."
