Currently, the cross-border e-commerce and global trade environment are becoming increasingly complex, and traditional foreign trade models are facing profound challenges. Especially for small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, long-standing pain points such as reliance on manual customer acquisition, high-intensity manual operations, and inefficient cross-time-zone and cross-language communication have persistently hindered their globalization efforts. With the rapid development and scenario-based application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, these traditional challenges are now encountering new solutions.
As a leading global mobile B2B maketplace for foreign trade, Ecer.com (www.ecer.com) focuses on the needs of Chinese manufacturers going global. Through continuous technological iteration, it helps enterprises reduce cross-border marketing costs and improve overseas operational efficiency. As AI enters a new stage of large-scale application, Ecer deeply integrates cutting-edge AI capabilities into the practical scenarios of foreign trade business—from promotion and operation, opportunity conversion, real-time negotiation to order fulfillment—injecting intelligent power into every key link to help enterprises build new advantages in fierce international competition.

Intelligent Promotion: Making Every Penny of the Budget More Precise
In the marketing field, AI has redefined the meaning of “precision.” The intelligent promotion system developed by Ecer.com’s can automatically generate strategies, adjust bidding, optimize materials, and allocate channels based on real-time market data, competitor dynamics, and user behavior feedback. This means that enterprise promotion has moved from “manual driving” to “autopilot” mode, with every penny of the budget flowing to the most efficient touchpoints under the control of algorithms, thereby significantly improving ROI and traffic quality.
AI Customer Service: Breaking Down Language and Time Barriers
In the inquiry conversion stage, the speed and professionalism of response directly determine the success or failure of a business opportunity. Ecer’s AI Customer Service System integrates real-time multilingual translation, industry terminology databases, and business communication models, enabling instant understanding and responses to global procurement needs. Regardless of a buyer’s time zone or language, the system delivers immediate, professional, and consistent communication experiences, effectively breaking the dual barriers of time and language.
Taking Shenzhen ChengHao Optoelectronic Co., Ltd., a member of Ecer.com, as an example, before using Ecer’s AI customer service system, the average response time for inquiries from Europe and America at night exceeded 12 hours, and communication efficiency was limited due to language and terminology barriers. After using Ecer’s intelligent inquiry system, the AI customer service achieved 24/7 automatic multilingual real-time response, reducing the average response time to within 90 seconds, and accurately analyzed technical parameters and procurement needs based on the built-in industry terminology database. Within three months, the company’s instant inquiry conversion rate increased by nearly 40%, and the number of qualified business opportunities increased by more than 25%, truly achieving 24/7, barrier-free global customer connection. This allows foreign trade companies to seize every potential order at the first moment, transforming the traditional passive waiting into proactive and instant outreach, significantly improving order conversion rates and customer satisfaction.
From “Transaction Completion” to “Continuous Intelligence”
The value of AI extends far beyond facilitating a single transaction. Through continuous learning from customer interaction data, industry trends, and supply chain information, the system can provide businesses with procurement preference predictions, market opportunity insights, and even risk warnings, helping foreign trade operations shift from responsive sales to proactive management. This “deep intelligence” will gradually become a key foundation for businesses to build long-term competitiveness.
A representative from Ecer.com stated that Ecer.com’s AI application in the foreign trade sector is moving from “single-point trials” to “full-process integration.” Its core objective remains clear: to root technology in real-world business scenarios, making artificial intelligence a reliable growth partner in the process of enterprise globalization.
