The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Per-shipment margin, landed-cost and realization view.
Exporters & Import Trading Houses
Per-shipment margin, landed-cost and realization view
Decisions wait on month-end and "what did this shipment actually earn" is an argument, not a number, because the buy cost, freight, duty, clearing, the incentives still to be received, the forex difference and the downstream discounts are never netted in one view. For an import house, true landed cost (price plus duty plus clearing plus freight plus forex) is a guess, dead stock is invisible, and the stretched buyer-credit tail is unseen until it hurts. For an export house, the per-shipment and per-buyer margin is spread across five silos.
Who has it
All segments; sharpest for merchant exporters on margin per shipment and for import and distribution houses on landed cost, stock ageing and the credit book.
What we build
Always-current dashboards over the connected layer: per-shipment and per-buyer margin (netting every charge, refund and forex difference), true landed cost per imported SKU, stock ageing and dead-stock, outstanding and DSO ageing (overseas receivables and downstream dealer credit), and the incentive-still-to-receive position. For an import house this is the distributor's stock-ageing and credit-book command centre; for an export house it is the per-shipment margin and realization centre.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Per-shipment margin, landed-cost and realization view; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
The owner and successor run the week off live numbers; per-shipment and per-buyer margin, true landed cost, dead stock, stretched receivables and the incentive-still-to-receive position become visible while there is still time to act.
Illustrative outcome
Working capital tied in dead stock and stretched receivables reduced, and true per-shipment margin made visible. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
