ERP for Importers, Exporters and Trading Houses
Buy in dollars, pay duty in rupees, sell in either, and NavoBook keeps the exchange rate on every document and the landed cost on every unit.
ERP that fits how trading businesses actually run
A container of imported goods is never worth what the supplier’s invoice says. By the time it clears, freight, insurance, customs duty, sales tax, clearing agent charges and demurrage have all been paid, some in dollars and some in rupees, and the rupee itself has moved since the LC opened. Most traders price from the supplier invoice plus a rough percentage, and find out at year end which shipments actually lost money.
NavoBook lets a vendor, a customer or a bank account work in its own currency, with the exchange rate recorded on every document. Landed cost vouchers spread freight, duty and clearing across the shipment, so each unit enters stock at what it really cost. Stock is costed by FIFO layers, so a sale draws the cost of the goods it actually came from, and exporters invoice foreign buyers in their currency on the same ledger.
Where trading margins disappear
Priced from the supplier invoice
Freight, duty and clearing are added in someone’s head, so the selling price is set on the wrong cost.
Exchange rate lost
A dollar invoice is entered at one rate and paid at another, and the difference lands nowhere.
Foreign accounts on the side
The dollar account is tracked in a separate sheet and never appears on the balance sheet at today’s rate.
Averages hiding bad shipments
One average cost across every shipment blends an expensive container into a cheap one.
Export receipts unmatched
Foreign payments arrive short of bank charges, and nobody matches them back to the invoice.
How NavoBook runs a trading business
Multi-currency documents
Vendors, customers and bank accounts can each work in their own currency, with the exchange rate on every document.
Landed cost vouchers
Spread freight, customs duty, clearing and other charges across a shipment, in any currency, so stock carries its true cost.
FIFO layer costing
Each shipment is its own cost layer, and a sale draws the cost of the goods it actually came from.
Foreign bank accounts
Hold dollar or euro accounts alongside rupee ones, revalued so the balance sheet uses a current rate.
Export invoicing
Invoice foreign buyers in their currency, then receive against the invoice in the same currency.
Local sales with tax
Sell locally with sales tax and FBR Digital Invoicing, from the same stock and the same ledger.
How the work moves through NavoBook
In the order it happens, from the first record to the last.
- 1
Order abroad
The purchase is raised in the supplier’s currency at the day’s rate.
- 2
Clear and land
A landed cost voucher adds freight, duty and clearing to the shipment.
- 3
Stock
Goods enter a FIFO layer at their full landed cost.
- 4
Sell
Local or export sales draw that layer’s cost, so the margin is real.
Modules trading businesses use most
All 23 modules are included on either plan, so you can switch any of these on as you grow, with no extra fee.
Import, Export & Trading: frequently asked questions
Can NavoBook handle purchases and sales in US dollars?
Yes. With multi-currency switched on, a vendor, customer or bank account can work in its own currency. Each document records its exchange rate, and the ledger holds the rupee value alongside the foreign amount.
How is landed cost calculated on an import?
A landed cost voucher takes freight, customs duty, clearing and any other charges for a shipment and spreads them across the items received, so every unit enters stock at its true cost rather than the supplier’s price.
Why does FIFO matter for a trader?
Because every shipment costs something different. FIFO keeps each shipment as its own layer and charges a sale with the cost of the goods it came from, so an expensive container cannot hide inside an average.
Can we keep a dollar bank account in NavoBook?
Yes. Foreign-currency bank accounts sit alongside rupee accounts, receipts and payments are recorded in the account’s currency, and revaluation brings the balance sheet to a current rate.
