SUMI International builds the operational infrastructure that lets sellers and entrepreneurs enter and scale in Russia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America — without heavy investment, bureaucracy, or platform lock-in.
SUMI International is an operational aggregator — we sit as a technology and service layer on top of existing platforms (Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, Ozon, Yandex.Market, Mercado Libre) without competing with them. Our clients sell more; we handle the rest.
We do not build heavy infrastructure. Instead, we occupy the niches the big platforms ignore: relocant entrepreneurs, offline sellers going digital, niche goods requiring emotional marketing, and SMBs that need professional logistics without paying marketplace commissions of 15–25%.
Closest international analogues: ShipBob (US, logistics layer), Kaktus (RU, marketplace enabler) — but with wider channel coverage and cross-border reach from day one.
Local knowledge in Russia, Mexico, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia. We know the regulations, platforms, and logistics partners in each market.
AI-driven routing, demand forecasting, behavioral analytics in PVZ locations, and automated listing management across channels.
We do not own warehouses or fleets — we orchestrate the best local partners. Every unit we build can be replicated as a franchise.
Each project solves a specific gap in the e-commerce journey — from first sale to international scale. They work independently and compound when combined.
All-inclusive onboarding for Russian-speaking entrepreneurs who have relocated to SEA or Latin America. Company registration, banking, marketplace setup, accounting, and language support — coordinated by SUMI in one package.
Pickup-point locations serving 4+ delivery carriers simultaneously, combined with a HoReCa zone (coffee/snacks), coworking space, and AI behavioral analytics. "The third place between home and work." Franchise available in Russia and internationally.
Fulfillment as a Service built on top of partner warehouse networks with AI routing, predictive demand analytics, and cross-border capabilities. FaaS at 5–8% of GMV vs. 15–25% marketplace commission.
1–3 day express delivery on key routes in Russia and international corridors (Monterrey–Bogotá, Russia–SEA). Built on the P4 PVZ network plus carrier aggregation, with IoT tracking and AI route optimization.
We source unique products from Asian and LatAm manufacturers (K-beauty, smart gadgets, wellness, pet products) and sell them through emotional storytelling content. Margins 30–55%. A live training ground for our marketing team.
Full-service marketplace enablement for sellers entering Ozon, Yandex.Market, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. Registration, product listings, logistics setup, advertising, and ongoing management — subscription-based.
We expand deliberately — building operational depth before geographic breadth. Each market entry is backed by local partners, not remote management.
Kate Mironova founded SUMI International with a clear thesis: the operational gap between a seller's first product and their first international order is solvable — if someone builds the right infrastructure layer.
Based in Phuket, Thailand, Kate leads SUMI's international expansion, strategic partnerships, and investor relations. Under her direction, SUMI grew from a single pickup-point service in Phuket into a multi-market ecosystem connecting Russia, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
Kate's approach — maximum AI, minimum bureaucracy, guerrilla expansion tactics — is reflected in every project SUMI runs. She believes the next wave of global e-commerce will not come from the Amazons of the world, but from ecosystem operators who understand local markets and build asset-light bridges between them.
We do not compete with Ozon, Shopee, or Mercado Libre. We sit on top of them — and make it easier for sellers to use all of them at once.
We target what big platforms ignore: small cities, offline sellers, relocants, and niche goods — where we can win deeply before expanding broadly.
Every PVZ we open is documented, systemized, and ready to franchise. Our franchise model works in Russia at ₽300–500K entry and internationally from $3,000.
500,000+ Russian-speaking entrepreneurs live in SEA and LatAm. We are the only operator with genuine local knowledge and Russian-language service in these markets.
From PVZ footfall analytics to AI inventory routing and predictive demand forecasting — we use AI not as a buzzword but as an operational backbone.
Our Smart Fulfillment costs sellers a fraction of marketplace commission. This is not a discount — it is a fundamentally different cost structure.
SUMI's business plan, leadership, and team were built for cross-border from the start. We don't "go international" — it is our core.
Whether you are a potential partner, investor, franchise buyer, or an entrepreneur looking to enter a new market — we want to hear from you.
