Interest to get bussines between Latin America and Canada in Tech products

Tweet

I have a SME software company in Colombia. We focus in products that can make a process simpler or more efficient but we try to work with simple ideas. To do this we make multidisciplinary teams that work together with the focus on making ideas that works. For example for airlines we focus on the main IATA initiatives. Within the lat 2 years we had made several system for airlines: An automatic baggage control system (BAGCONTROL), which we are moving to use RFID technologies. We made also one of the first 2D bar code boarding system in Latin America and is already working in Bogota. We developed also the first check-in kiosk solution for any Colombian Airline (Avianca the biggest in Colombia). It is already working in the main airports at Colombia. At the moment we are working with VISA in some new kiosk solutions. For food companies we have made some interesting products like NetWeigh which is s system for monitoring the statistical process of weighing products at the productions lines. The system was developed in 2005 but this year some of the most important companies of food production acquired it (ALPINA, COLCAFE) and is been installed in Venezuela an Ecuador too. We have good experience in the automation of weighing processes; we are adding capabilities to our TRUCKWEIGH product to determine automatically the type (kind) of a truck in places where they have to pay the tolls. By measuring automatically the number of axis, the distance between them and by using the national (Colombian) and by taking weighing tables for truck load we can calculate the amounts to pay for overloading. For now is been installed in el Valle (we department in Colombia) We have several products for logistic applications an several modules for a WMS system. Among them we have already picking systems, reception, quality control , formulation systems to mention some. We personalise our system and third party systems in order to add value to the customer process. We have optimises some logistics processes by joining another SME which focus on Theory of constraints consultancy, and joined efforts to made products and processes value oriented. As you can see even though our small size most of our customers are between the biggest Colombia companies or some of the important international companies that have business here. Our products are interesting. To joint all this with Canada, my family and me have a Canadian resident Visa. I would like a way to expand our business. My first object is not to move to a direct job in Canada but to find some one (or company) who may have interest in to open business opportunities here in Colombia. To be able to keep my resident visa and may be elected as a Canadian citizen I will need to work for a Canadian company, but at the same time I don’t like to loss the business I already has here in Colombia. I am looking for ways were I can meet these two objectives. For this reason I want to establish relations with Canadians companies who may find opportunities to promote their products here, and hire me. In my formation I have a good technical background as well as an administrative one. I am a programmer from a well known Colombian university, and I have made postgraduate studies in technological management as well as a master degree in Organizational Management from the Quebec University. I did work several years out of Colombia in Mexico and USA so I have international experience. The experience I have in the local market, plus the contacts and a good name could be good factors for Canadian companies which have in their plans to promote Colombian markets. So if there any one or companies who seem good opportunities to joint efforts I would be very interesting in to get the contacts. Thanks a lot.
