AI & Automation for Professional Services

Your competitors manage 50 clients with the same team. You are capped at 5.

Senior consultants spend 40-60% of their time on grunt work - scanning journals, verifying HS codes, monitoring WTO feeds. AI-enabled firms have cloned their expertise into agents that monitor 180+ countries 24/7 and manage 10x the client portfolio with the same headcount.

Export Arena is an "Asset-Based Consulting" platform - shift from the billable hour to a high-margin "Compliance-as-a-Service" subscription model valued at 3-6x revenue instead of 1x.

Why trade consultants choose Export Arena

The billable hour ties revenue to time, and time has a hard cap. Firms deploying AI departments shift from 1x revenue valuations to 3-6x by building scalable, subscription-based practices.

The scalability
crisis
A solo consultant is capped at 5 retainer clients because 10 hours a week go to reading newsletters and checking government websites. No human can memorize the intersection of every client's product list with shifting regulations across 180+ countries.

This forces narrow specialization, limiting your addressable market. AI-enabled firms manage 50+ clients per consultant by deploying autonomous agents that monitor, filter, and draft advisories 24/7 - projecting expertise at scale you cannot match with headcount.
40-60% of time
wasted on grunt work
Senior consultants spend nearly half their billable time scanning Official Journals, verifying HS codes against new tariff schedules, and manually extracting data from PDFs. A single complex classification takes 3-8 hours.

Processing a commercial invoice takes 15-20 minutes with an 18-40% error rate. Manual contract review cycles extend for days. Every hour your senior talent spends on data entry is an hour not spent on strategic advisory that justifies premium fees.
Week-old intel in
a real-time world
Human monitoring is batch-processed - checked once a week at best. In a hyper-connected supply chain, a week-long delay in identifying a new sanitary requirement or tariff change can result in client shipments rejected at the border.

Static monthly PDF reports that 90% of clients ignore fail to provide the real-time assurance they expect. Your competitors deliver dynamic dashboards with instant alerts while you send newsletters nobody reads.
Strict liability,
manual defenses
The 50% Rule means an entity is automatically sanctioned if owned in aggregate by sanctioned individuals - even if it never appears on any watchlist. Manual due diligence cannot detect these "Shadow SDN" structures.

Violations carry up to $1 million per incident and 20 years in prison for willful violations. Manual classification often lacks a documented audit trail. If a customs authority challenges a ruling years later, you may struggle to reproduce the logic behind the original decision.

Measurable results within 30 days

Firms deploying AI departments decouple revenue from headcount. The 40-60% of time consumed by manual research becomes capacity for new clients and premium advisory. Firm valuations shift from 1x to 3-6x revenue.
