CODADA supports your entry by helping you find distributors in Shanghai who align with your goals. Shanghai is a leading city for distribution in China, with advanced infrastructure and retail reach. We guide you from selection to setup and beyond.

Market Entry Preparation

CODADA reviews the product, target channels, commercial pricing approach, documentation needs, and market entry route before distributor discussions in Shanghai begin. This creates a clear commercial direction for the distributor search and helps align the process with your market goals.

Distributor Identification

We identify distributors in Shanghai that fit the product category, sales channels, market coverage, and commercial expectations. The focus is on partners with relevant category experience, suitable channel access, and the ability to support market development.

Partner Qualification

We assess whether potential distributors in Shanghai are active, relevant, capable, responsive, and suitable for long-term cooperation. This helps focus discussions on companies with the right structure, interest, and commercial fit for your brand.

Ongoing In-Market Support

CODADA supports with regular communication, pricing alignment, listing discussions, market feedback, distributor management, and ongoing business development after the initial introduction. This keeps market development active and provides continued local support for your export team.
