What Empresa de Comercio Exterior does

Empresa de Comercio Exterior (operating under the combined legal name LATAM-IT and ECOE S.A. de C.V.) is a privately held B2B business consulting firm incorporated in El Salvador as a Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable. Founded approximately in 1990, the firm has operated continuously for about 35 years and provides a single core service line: business consulting centered on market development, gap and opportunity analysis, and the production of detailed project plans with timelines and cost analyses. Its stated offering is individualized, project-based consulting rather than a packaged technology product.

The company's client base is described as a "large number of clients from various industries," served across a deliberately horizontal set of verticals that includes Real Estate, IoT Solutions, Financial/Banking connectivity, Cyber and Physical Security Solutions, and GPS Platform services. No named customer logos, case studies, or contract values are disclosed, and there is no evidence of dedicated industry specializations, methodologies, or proprietary frameworks beyond the general "analytical approach" described on the firm's website. The product portfolio, per the source data, consists of one core product category ("B2B-Business Consulting") with no ancillary software, SaaS, or platform offering.

ECOE operates two office locations: a primary office in San Salvador (Ave. El Hipodromo, Edif. Granplaza, Of 401, San Benito) and a satellite/contact office in Hyattsville, Maryland (8245 New Hampshire Ave). The U.S. office appears to support cross-border client engagement under the LATAM-IT brand, while operations remain anchored in El Salvador. The firm has 11-50 employees, no disclosed revenue, no institutional funding, no parent company, and no public listing. There is no evidence of acquisitions, partnerships, AI/ML capabilities, certifications, patents, or third-party awards in the source data.

Broad incumbents

• Deloitte Consulting: Big 4 advisory firm offering strategy, operations, technology, and human capital consulting globally. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering B2B management consulting services, though it serves a much larger enterprise client base.
• McKinsey & Company: Global management consulting firm offering strategy, operations, and organizational advisory to corporations and governments. Comparable as the broadest incumbent in the same management consulting category ECOE serves, though ECOE operates at a much smaller scale and in a LATAM/US niche.
• Accenture Strategy: Global professional services firm offering strategy and consulting services, including technology-enabled transformation. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the B2B consulting market, particularly for clients integrating technology adoption.
• Boston Consulting Group: Global management consulting firm with strong practices in technology, financial services, and growth strategy. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the same B2B management consulting category.
• Bain & Company: Global strategy consulting firm with deep practices in financial services, technology, and consumer industries. Comparable to ECOE because both serve cross-industry strategy clients, though Bain operates at vastly larger scale and global footprint.
• KPMG Advisory: Big 4 advisory practice offering management consulting, risk advisory, and deal advisory. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the B2B consulting category that competes for similar cross-industry strategy engagements.
• EY-Parthenon: Strategy consulting arm of EY offering corporate strategy, transactions, and growth advisory. Comparable as a broad incumbent in B2B strategy consulting, though at global scale and with deeper sector specialization.
