Case Studies

What a China launch actually took

Anonymized records of real engagements — the diagnosis, the decision, the build, and the measured result. No drama, no “blocked in China” clichés: each case starts from what the probes showed and ends with what changed.

  • Client: a European B2B SaaS platform serving global enterprise HR teams Timeline: 2025 · delivered in ~6 months, POC in 4 weeks

    EU B2B SaaS platform: HR modules live in China

    A European B2B SaaS platform's HR modules were unusable from Mainland China — unstable DNS, 9–15 second timeouts. A China-based cross-border CDN plus an ICP-filed local domain delivered the full product in six months.

    <50% DNS resolution success in the worst-probed Mainland China cities
    9–15s HTTP timeout where DNS did resolve, before acceleration
    4 weeks POC on an ICP-filed test domain, pre-contract
    6 months from kickoff to the end customer's China rollout

  • Client: a US-based workflow-automation platform Timeline: 2025 · v1 live in <1 year, iterating since

    US workflow app in China — local stack, full notifications

    Mainland China users couldn't install the app, and Twilio SMS never reached Chinese numbers. A minimal in-country footprint plus a one-stop Chinese mobile suite took v1 live in under a year.

    2–3 weeks to integrate the one-stop vendor SDKs, guided by a demo app
    First pass first app-store submission approved after compliance pre-clearance
    <1 year from kickoff to v1 live, SMS and voice included on day one
    4 filings ICP + PSB + software copyright + app filing, handled end to end

  • Client: a US-based B2B SaaS platform Timeline: 2025 · from first probe to full launch in ~6 months

    US B2B SaaS platform: mobile app and alerts live in China

    The web app worked from Mainland China — but the mobile app was missing from Chinese stores and SMS alerts never reached Mainland China numbers. A stateless proxy and compliant notifications closed the gap.

    5 weeks Mainland China proxy + ICP filing + China cloud account live
    10 days technical validation completed before signing
    6 stores App Store China + 5 leading Android stores, all live
    70% → 92%+ monthly SMS delivery rate, before → after tuning
