Vision & Core Values

Outbound Axis Vietnam (OAV) positions itself as a comprehensive implementation support system, designed to build a strong foundation for sales and enhance the customer experience even before a business is officially established.

Unlike simply outsourcing administrative activities, OAV is committed to partnering and co-creating businesses with clients. OAV not only helps expand business operations but also proactively proposes new opportunities, creating an ideal playing field for Japanese startups to confidently enter the promising Vietnamese market.

The Complementary and Collaborative Value Between GMAJOR and OAV

While GMAJOR has built an ideal online platform for the SME community, it still has certain limitations in providing legal and practical implementation support for companies new to the market.

In contrast, OAV possesses extensive experience in on-the-ground implementation, along with a strong legal network and strategic local partnerships, helping Japanese businesses operate safely and effectively in Vietnam. However, OAV lacks a broad online connection platform to quickly access the Vietnamese business community and potential international buyers.

The combination of both will create a complete solution, filling each other's gaps to bring the maximum value to clients.

Benefits for GMAJOR

GMAJOR will upgrade its position from a simple connection platform to a comprehensive support platform. With OAV's participation, GMAJOR can provide a "closed-loop" solution, from initial partner search on the digital platform to specialized on-the-ground implementation support. This not only increases the value of its core services but also strengthens GMAJOR's reputation and competitiveness in the international market.

Benefits for Outbound Axis Vietnam (OAV)

OAV will gain access to a large and pre-qualified source of potential clients from GMAJOR's platform. Instead of relying solely on traditional channels to find customers, OAV can quickly expand its outreach network, promoting its capabilities to the right audience with a need to enter the Vietnamese market. This helps optimize business efficiency and accelerate growth.

Benefits for the SME Community in Vietnam and Japan

Clients are the biggest beneficiaries of this partnership. Instead of having to find multiple units for each stage, they will have a seamless and all-in-one solution. Specifically, clients will receive:

• End-to-End Solution: All processes, from partner search and strategy building to legal implementation and operations, are carried out under a single roof.
• Risk Reduction: The combination of a reliable connection platform and professional, practical support will help businesses reduce legal and operational risks, allowing them to feel more confident when entering a new market.
• Time & Cost Savings: The optimized process helps clients save significant time and resources that would otherwise be spent on navigating complex procedures and finding each partner individually.

With these benefits, the partnership between GMAJOR and OAV is not just a complement but a multiplication of strength for the entire ecosystem.

Conclusion

The strategic partnership between GMAJOR and Outbound Axis Vietnam (OAV) has created an objective, groundbreaking solution for the SME and startup communities in both Vietnam and Japan.

GMAJOR brings a multilingual platform, serving as an effective bridge between Vietnamese and Japanese businesses. Meanwhile, OAV acts as a practical implementation partner, supporting businesses step-by-step as they enter a new market. From here, businesses can confidently expand internationally, contributing to building a transparent, efficient, and sustainable commercial environment, while further strengthening the business relationship between the two nations.
