OKA scales globally with WFX

Challenges they faced

OKA was in talks with a number of investment firms in 2017 about expanding its operations into overseas markets, especially eager to expand its footprint in North America. The process of starting a business in the United States differs significantly from that of starting a business in the United Kingdom.

Companies must label products in a variety of ways, describe products in a variety of ways, and comply with a variety of certification standards. This needed a lot of coordination and streamlined approach.
