Scomot

What Scomot does

Scomot is a Seoul-headquartered B2B SaaS and cross-border e-commerce services company founded in 2021 that helps Korean wellness and beauty manufacturers expand into international markets through pricing intelligence and trade facilitation. Its core product, the Scomot Pricing Advisor (SPA), is a SaaS and API platform that blends AI with human expertise and mathematical/statistical models to generate probabilistic profit and loss forecasts for cross-border e-commerce scenarios, factoring in returns, refunds, gray market risks, tariffs, and FX. The platform comprises built-in pricing modules with a visualiser, a Prediction Engine, a Scenario Analytics Dashboard, and add-on modules including SPA nano Shopify and SPA nano Box (an optimal packaging dimension calculator). Scomot has registered the underlying "Global Ecommerce Decision Structure Solution SaaS Platform" through Korea's G-TEP (Global Technology Exchange Program), and bundles multi-jurisdiction regulatory coverage spanning US (FDA), EU (CPNP/EFSA), UK (SCPN/FSA), China (NMPA/CIFER), and Japan (PMDA), alongside trademark and anti-counterfeiting services across USPTO, EUIPO, UKIPO, CNIPA, and JPO.

The business model spans four revenue streams: recurring SaaS/API subscriptions for SPA (including a free MVP early-access tier); professional services for Korean market feasibility testing priced at $50+ for product listing, $100+ for shipping handling, and $200+ for image localization; B2B advisory and BPO services for cross-border deal facilitation; and platform commissions from two B2B wholesale marketplaces — MWG (명월궁) for beauty products and UBYCW (의방유취원) for dietary supplements. Distribution is hybrid: self-serve SaaS/API via console.scomot.com for SMB users, direct enterprise sales pipelines into big box retailers (Ulta Beauty, Sephora, Olive Young), and channel partnerships with online wholesale marketplaces (Faire, Creoate, Orderchamp, Ankorstore, Domeggook). The company operates from Seoul as Scomot Limited (a Korean corporation) and from Singapore as Scomot Asia Pacific Private Limited (regional HQ for APAC), claims 500+ cross-border B2B deals facilitated, 300+ Korean manufacturers served, and 48+ distributor relationships across APAC, EMEA, and NA.

Customer acquisition is event-driven and content-led, anchored on K-beauty trade shows (Seoul Indie Beauty Show, Beauty Trade Show), industry forums (K-Beauty Europe Forum, Go-to-Global Forum, Beauty Russia Forum), and educational webinars co-hosted with partners such as Aspire. Scomot is privately held and founder-led by CEO Chung Hyung-jo (12 years of cross-border e-commerce experience, ex-Groupon), with no disclosed institutional funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and a 1-10 employee headcount. Notable credentials include an Innovation Growth Type venture enterprise certification from the Korea Venture Business Association (valid through January 10, 2027), a 2nd place finish in the Seoul Metropolitan Government/MaeKyung AI Idea Competition (2023), Microsoft Korea Launcher Cohort 1 selection (2023), and industry-academia cooperation agreements with SeoulTech (2024) and Seoul National University Campus Town (2026).
