Forty suppliers, three continents, one dashboard.

Every purchase order with every overseas supplier: where it is, what's missing, what it will cost landed, and when it's paid.

The importer's problem

An importer's day is status: which containers land this week, which bill of lading hasn't arrived, which supplier hasn't confirmed the ETD, which invoice finance is holding. All of it is in email — in several people's email — and in a spreadsheet that was accurate last Tuesday.

What changes

• Orders assemble themselves from the emails and ERP records already there; twelve months of history on day one.
• Shipping documents due by ETD, not ETA — because on short lanes the vessel beats the courier.
• Customs and free time per shipment, with the broker's emails filed under the order and an amber warning before demurrage starts.
• Landed cost per unit across incoterms, so an FOB quote from one supplier and a CIF quote from another can be compared honestly.
• Your customers on a magic link. Distributors can send a customer one link that shows every update on their order, without giving them an account.
