Import–export operations with complete visibility

Built with scrap-metal importers — HMS, shredded, copper and aluminium scrap bought by the container. Purchase orders, supplier confirmations, bookings, shipments, weighbridge, quality checks and claims — in one platform, with statuses that move automatically as documents and dates come in.

  • Import & export
  • Buyer, supplier & logistics roles
  • Multi-company SaaS

The problem

Why import–export teams lose control

A single container touches buyers, suppliers, shipping lines, forwarders, customs, transporters, the weighbridge and QC.

01

Status in emails & sheets

Nobody knows if a shipment is loaded, at sea, at port or at the gate without calling someone.

02

Documents everywhere

Tax invoices, packing lists, BLs, IGMs, Bills of Entry and delivery orders sit in inboxes.

03

Weights re-typed by hand

Scrap packing lists by bundle, bale and loose load, scale tickets on paper and net weights calculated in Excel.

04

QC and claims disconnected

Test results and claims are not linked to the PO, container or goods receipt they belong to.

One shipment, every step

Statuses that update themselves

Exim moves each shipment through its journey from the data your teams already enter — no manual status updates.

  • Shipment loaded when the tax invoice is uploaded
  • In transit once the booking's ETD passes
  • BL released, Arriving soon and Arrived at port from the BL, IGM and ETA
  • Custom clearance when the Bill of Entry and duty challan are in
  • Out for delivery, At factory and Delivered from the driver, weighbridge and goods receipt

05

Weighbridge & QC

A scale ticket per container when the shipment goes in transit.

  • Hours inside the factory, receipts attached
  • Samples per container or grade — radiation, contamination and moisture, approved or rejected
06

Goods receipt, claims & control

Goods stay "Under QC" until every sample is approved.

  • Claims raised, submitted and settled
  • Company prefixes and document number series
  • Role-based fields, column selection and Excel export

How it works

How a shipment moves through Exim

From the purchase order to approved stock at the factory.

  1. 01

    Plan & approve

    Raise the purchase request, convert it to a PO and get it approved — the supplier confirms it in their portal.

  2. 02

    Book & ship

    Create the booking, then the shipment with containers and packing list; documents move it to loaded, in transit and BL released.

  3. 03

    Clear & deliver

    IGM, ETA and the Bill of Entry carry it through port and customs; the delivery order and driver bring it out for delivery.

  4. 04

    Weigh, test & receive

    The weighbridge records weights, QC approves the samples and the goods receipt closes the PO — or a claim is raised.

FAQ

Exim FAQ

Who is Exim for?

Importers and exporters that buy or sell by the container — and the suppliers, logistics coordinators, warehouse and QC teams who work with them. It runs today for scrap-metal importers (HMS, shredded, copper and aluminium scrap, with LME-linked pricing) and is built to support other industries.

Can suppliers use it?

Yes. Suppliers get their own login to see approved POs, confirm them with their sales-order copy and, when they arrange shipping, create bookings and shipments.

Does it work for multiple companies?

Yes. Exim is multi-company SaaS: each company has its own users, roles, document prefixes and number series, and the fields each role can see are configurable.

Can it be customised for our process?

Yes. TechieBears built Exim and can add your statuses, documents, masters and integrations. Book a demo and we will walk through your current process.
