Placing the order
A foreign-currency purchase order
The purchasing coordinator places a foreign-currency order with a supplier in China or the Gulf and applies for a letter of credit at the bank.
Coming soon Trade & Distribution
Import trading software that spreads landed cost across every SKU
A general trading company imports multi-category goods on a foreign-currency order and a letter of credit, then allocates freight, duty and clearing charges across every SKU on the shipment, so the true cost and margin are known before anything is priced for local sale.
General trading company · from$33a month, per shopWhat is included
A working day
A day in a general trading company
In transit
Goods on the water, cost still growing
The shipment is at sea or in customs; freight, duty and clearing charges are still accumulating, and the stock is tracked separately as in-transit, not yet warehouse stock.
Customs clearing
A clearing agent takes it through customs
A separate clearing and forwarding business files the paperwork and moves the container through customs examination.
Receiving
One landed cost, spread across every SKU
The warehouse manager receives the shipment; the freight, duty and clearing charges entered once are allocated proportionally across every SKU in the container.
Selling
Priced from the true landed cost
The sales manager books a local wholesale order priced from each item's actual landed cost, not the supplier's invoice price alone.
Monthly
FX exposure and LC limits
The accountant reviews foreign-exchange exposure on open orders and how much of the letter-of-credit limit is already committed.
What goes wrong today
The problems it takes away
Landed cost worked out by hand, SKU by SKU
Freight, duty and clearing charges for one shipment, divided across dozens of SKUs on a spreadsheet, every time.
In-transit stock that looks the same as warehouse stock
Goods still on the water counted the same as goods already on the shelf, so stock reports are wrong until the container clears.
No clear picture of how much of the LC limit is left
A new purchase order placed without knowing how much letter-of-credit exposure is already committed.
Margin that's only guessed at until the shipment is fully costed
A price quoted before landed cost is known, so the real margin on the sale is only found out afterwards.
What it does
Everything a general trading company runs on
Parts marked Coming soon are on the way; founding shops get them first, at no extra charge.
One landed cost, shared correctly across every SKU
Coming soonEntering a shipment's freight, duty and clearing charges once will allocate them proportionally across every SKU it contains, so each item's true cost is known before it's priced.
In-transit stock kept apart from warehouse stock
Coming soonGoods still at sea or in customs will track as their own stock state, separate from what's actually on the warehouse shelf.
A letter-of-credit limit you can see before the next order
Coming soonA lightweight register of LC exposure and limit use will show before a new purchase order is placed, so you're never buying blind.
Local wholesale sales tracked the same way as any khata
AvailableLocal wholesale customers buy on account. The product tracks open invoices, receipts and ageing behind every balance.
Stock kept by warehouse, reported across the business

Live demoOur demos sell in nested packs — carton, box, unit — with a price per level. The product today handles one pack level per sale line, with pack support on purchases coming next.

Claim a placeStraight answers
General trading companies ask
Does it work out the true cost of each item in an imported shipment?
That's planned: entering one shipment's freight, duty and clearing charges once and spreading them proportionally across every SKU it contains, so each item's landed cost is known before it's priced.
Can it handle a foreign-currency purchase and a local-currency sale in the same books?
The product has a multi-currency foundation today; the fuller foreign-currency purchasing and letter-of-credit tracking this business needs is still being built.
Does it track goods that are still on the water or in customs?
Planned: in-transit stock kept separate from warehouse stock, so reports aren't wrong while a shipment is still moving.
Can local wholesale customers buy on credit?
Yes. A local customer's account is tracked as an open-item khata with ageing, the same as any customer account.
Is customs clearance itself part of this?
No. Clearing a shipment through customs is its own segment, the clearing and forwarding agent. This profile covers the importer's own buying, landed cost and local resale.
