What an import and export company needs

In international trade, documents for a single shipment are scattered across emails, smartphone photos, and paper binders. Transactions span multiple foreign currencies, and imported item costs rarely factor in freight, customs duties, and clearance fees, making profits appear artificially inflated. Meanwhile, regulatory decrees and tariff schedules change constantly without timely notice.

We combine purchasing, sales, inventory, multi-currency accounting, document archiving, and digital signatures into a unified suite hosted for you in Egypt.

Start here

Trade and procurement:

Sales and purchasing: purchase orders to foreign suppliers, foreign currency conversions, quotes, and sales orders.
Inventory and warehouses: landed costs distributing shipping, freight, and customs duties across imported item valuations.
Accounting and Egyptian e-invoice generated directly from sales invoices.
CRM tracking international commercial leads to final billing.

Documentation:

Electronic archiving: scanned commercial documents made full-text searchable with Arabic OCR, categorized by tags and dates.
Document e-signature: contracts sent via secure link, signed conveniently from smartphones with audit logs.

Monitoring:

Web change monitoring: automated alerts whenever relevant foreign exchange, customs, or regulatory pages change.
Advanced BI: multi-currency operational dashboards and scheduled management reports.

The suite:

Asas business suite: unified business email, file storage, meetings, and ERP under single sign-on.
ERP-connected online store for trade firms distributing goods to retail consumers.
Customisation and custom build tailored to your specific commercial document cycle.

Why it suits import and export companies

Multi-currency accounting built-in: Purchases and sales recorded in foreign currencies, updating general ledgers and valuation rates seamlessly.
Centralized trade documentation: Full-text searchable shipment files, ending manual searches through physical filing cabinets.
Awareness of regulatory updates: Instant notifications detailing exact textual changes on monitored trade and regulatory portals.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best accounting software for an import and export company?

We recommend ERPNext: accounting, sales and purchasing, and inventory and warehouses in one system in right-to-left Arabic, featuring multi-currency transactions and landed cost allocations, serving as an alternative to Odoo and SAP Business One.

Does it allocate shipping and customs to item costs?

Yes. Landed cost vouchers allocate freight charges, port fees, and customs duties proportionally across imported item valuations.

Does it handle transactions in foreign currencies?

Yes. You issue purchase orders to overseas suppliers in foreign currencies, tracking exchange gain/loss automatically across inventory and financial ledgers.

Is there a DocuWare alternative for archiving commercial trade documents?

Yes. Electronic archiving powered by Paperless-ngx converts scanned paper documents into searchable digital files with Arabic OCR, organized by tags, customs brokers, and dates.

Does it alert me when relevant regulatory decisions change?

Yes. Web change monitoring monitors specified authority pages and notifies you via email or messaging with visual diffs whenever import rules or competitor prices change.
