Asia Experience

As CEO of GBCS Group, I have strategically dedicated resources to internationalize our operations, leveraging key tactics such as international travel and participation in trade shows to engage with potential clients in target markets. Alongside this, we're investing in comprehensive market research and tailored marketing materials to enhance our sales outreach globally. Specifically, for Lokomotive, our land and rail platform, our focus is on penetrating international markets by targeting ground logistics, trains, trucks, electric vehicles, and other land-specialized assets. Our aim is to achieve a significant portion, around 20%, of our sales from international markets. Furthermore, we're ensuring our products are globally adaptable by leveraging their cloud-based infrastructure, intuitive interfaces, and scalable marketability.
