Tendata Korea

What Tendata Korea does

Tendata Korea is a Seoul-headquartered subscription-based trade data intelligence platform founded in 2005 that aggregates customs and statistical bureau records from 65 countries together with online data from 141 countries, totaling more than 100 billion data records. Its core product, iTrader, is an integrated analytics platform composed of three modules: T-info, which delivers searchable transactional trade data (counterparty, timing, product, quantity, price); T-discovery, a global company activity search driven by HS codes, product keywords, and company names; and T-radar, which provides deeper activity and counterpart records linked to T-discovery output. The technical surface is a structured data query and intelligence layer rather than a machine-learning system; pricing is not publicly disclosed, and conversion typically runs through a website-based sample data request workflow backed by direct sales engagement for enterprise accounts.

The company monetizes access to the iTrader platform under a recurring subscription model, distributing primarily through its Korean-language website (tendata.co.kr) and reaching a global customer base of approximately 40,000 companies across 131 countries. Its target segments are horizontal and use-case oriented — businesses seeking new international buyers, companies entering new markets, organizations monitoring competitor trade activity, supply chain managers, market researchers, and revenue teams — rather than focused on a specific vertical. The stated 67.5% re-subscription rate is the company's primary retention claim and substantially exceeds the implied industry baseline.

Tendata Korea operates as a privately held entity with no disclosed parent company, funding history, acquisitions, executive team, or partnerships in the input data. Its sole office is the headquarters in the Gangnam district of Seoul (Trade Tower, Yeongdong-daero), and its marketing motion is concentrated on content marketing, downloadable user manuals, email inquiry capture, and sample data requests. There is no evidence of API, SDK, or mobile app distribution, and no disclosed regulatory, certification, or compliance posture.

Direct peers

• ImportYeti: US-focused supplier and product sourcing intelligence platform built on customs and shipping data. Closely comparable to Tendata's T-discovery and T-radar modules for buyer/supplier discovery.
• ImportGenius: Subscription-based US import/export data platform providing customs bill of lading data, supplier/buyer search, and competitor monitoring — a near-direct competitor to Tendata's buyer discovery and trade intelligence use cases.
• Volza: Global trade data platform providing customs shipment records, buyer/supplier search, and market intelligence with a modern web UX. Direct competitor in subscription trade intelligence for SMEs.
• 52WMB: China-headquartered customs and trade data platform with subscription intelligence on Chinese import/export transactions. Comparable in product offering and target customer (export-oriented businesses) to Tendata.
• Tendata (global/China HQ): The Chinese/global parent brand of the same iTrader trade data platform. Tendata Korea appears to be the Korean-distributed version; they share product branding, data assets, and value proposition.

Broad incumbents

• Descartes Visual Compliance: Part of Descartes Systems Group, offering trade compliance, denied-party screening, and export controls software. Overlaps with Tendata's compliance-adjacent trade intelligence positioning at the enterprise tier.
• Panjiva (S&P Global): S&P Global-owned trade data platform covering global import/export transaction records with analytics. Directly comparable to Tendata's iTrader/T-info offering but with deeper enterprise integration and broader institutional customer base.
• Dun & Bradstreet: Global business data and trade intelligence provider with company-level trade activity, corporate hierarchies, and supply chain insights. Adjacent competitor serving larger enterprise procurement and supply chain teams.

Emerging players

• 海关数据 (Cargolens / customs data platforms): Smaller customs data aggregation services serving Chinese exporters with similar buyer-discovery functionality. Comparable niche player competing for the same cross-border trade intelligence wallet share.

Regional players

• Seair Exim Solutions: India-based trade data and import-export intelligence platform covering Indian and global customs transactions. Comparable product offering but focused on the Indian subcontinent rather than the Korean market.
