Operational Control
Deal-Level Profit Visibility
Built for Real Food Trade Workflows
The ERP Built for How Food Traders Actually Work
Most ERP systems were not designed around the realities of food trading: back-to-back transactions, shifting margin, export documentation, multi-container logistics, in-transit inventory, and country-specific requirements.
Designed Around the Work Your Team Already Does
Back-to-Back Order Management
Move from a confirmed sale to a linked purchase order in one action.
- One-click PO creation from the sales order
- Auto-carry specs, destination details, and inspection requirements
- Auto-allocation of receipt against linked sales order
- Supports PO-first workflows and speculative buying
- Tracks temperature class and case count alongside weight
Multi-Unit Pricing & Trade Flexibility
Buy and sell the way global food markets actually operate.
- Convert between pounds, kilograms, and metric tons automatically
- Set country-based default units of measure
- Support fresh market formula pricing
- Handle weight-based and non-weight items in one environment
- Keep documents aligned with the customer’s required trade unit
Deal-Level Profitability
See margin before a deal becomes a problem.
- Surface buy-side and sell-side economics earlier
- Associate freight, storage, and selling expenses to the deal
- Consider carrying costs and longer transit cycles
- Use approval thresholds for low-margin deals
- Reduce manual margin reconciliation
Export Documentation
Generate critical export documents from the transaction.
- Sales confirmations and pro forma invoices
- Draft and final bills of lading
- Packing lists, loading instructions, and drayage instructions
- Country- and product-specific health certificate details
- Destination-country requirement defaults
Logistics & Container Management
Control bookings, containers, and in-transit visibility with less manual chasing.
- Capture vessel, port, forwarder, and container data
- Manage multiple containers under one booking
- Track contract, spot, and in-transit warehouse activity
- Create shipment records at the container level
- Configure notify-party and shipper details by transaction
Dashboards, Controls & AP Automation
Give every team better visibility without losing governance.
- Trader pipeline dashboards and color-coded status views
