A shipment that crosses a border touches currency, customs, and cash flow before it touches a customer.
Import and export trading runs on juggling multiple currencies, multiple suppliers across time zones, and payment terms that can stretch for months while goods are in transit. Yukti keeps currency conversion, supplier performance, and multi-warehouse stock connected to the same books, instead of reconciling a trading ledger by hand at month-end.
The Real Workflows Behind Import & Export Trading ERP
Multi-currency accounting converts and revalues automatically
- Handles transactions, invoices, and payments in suppliers' and customers' actual currencies
- Every entry converts to base currency for consolidated reporting
- Period-end revaluation posts unrealized gain or loss on open foreign-currency balances automatically
Landed cost folds freight and duty into real product cost
- Freight, customs duty, insurance, and handling allocate into the actual cost of goods, by configurable rules
- That real cost flows into inventory valuation and margin analysis, not a separate expense line
- Non-product costs typically add 20 to 40 percent on top of a supplier's invoice price, based on industry benchmarks
Supplier performance gets scored on data, not memory
- Purchase management tracks on-time delivery, pricing trends, and quality rejection rates per supplier
- Supplier relationships get judged on data, not memory
- Matters more internationally, where a site visit to check a problem isn't happening this quarter
Stock in a bonded warehouse is tracked, not invisible
- Real-time stock visibility across every warehouse or bonded location
- Inter-warehouse transfers tracked end to end from port of entry to distribution point
- Sales order management handles backorders gracefully when a shipment is delayed in transit
How the Pieces Connect
Landed cost converts every currency into one real number
- A single shipment rarely settles in one currency: freight in USD, duty local, invoice in the manufacturer's currency
- Each component converts at the applicable exchange rate into the same product cost record
- Landed cost reflects what the shipment actually cost in your base currency
Supplier history feeds the next purchase order
- Supplier performance data feeds directly into the next purchasing decision
- Not a file someone reviews once a year
- A drifting on-time delivery or rising rejection rate shows up in the same system placing the next PO
A backorder reflects stock that's actually cleared customs
- Stock still sitting in a bonded warehouse isn't shown as available the same way as a domestic shelf
- A customer gets a realistic delivery promise
- Not a date based on inventory that hasn't cleared customs yet

Common Questions
How does Yukti calculate landed cost, and does it happen automatically?
Freight, customs duty, insurance, and handling charges get allocated into the actual cost of each product based on configurable rules, and that true cost flows into inventory valuation and margin analysis automatically. You're not manually adding a shipping estimate to a purchase price after the fact, the landed cost is part of the product's actual recorded cost.
We invoice suppliers in USD but book in our local currency. How does currency revaluation work when payment happens weeks or months after the invoice?
Each transaction records at the exchange rate in effect on its date, and at period close, any open foreign-currency receivable or payable gets revalued to the current rate, with the resulting unrealized gain or loss posted to the correct account. That keeps your books accurate to current exchange rates instead of stale ones from whenever the original invoice was raised.
Can we track supplier performance separately when we're sourcing from multiple countries with different lead times?
Yes. Purchase management tracks on-time delivery, pricing trends, and quality rejection rates per supplier, so a supplier in one country with a six-week lead time and one in another country with a two-week lead time are evaluated against their own history and their own terms, not a single blended benchmark that doesn't reflect either one accurately.
Do you support stock sitting in a bonded warehouse or in transit before customs clearance?
Yes. Inventory gives real-time visibility across every warehouse or bonded location, with transfers tracked end to end as goods move from port of entry to a distribution point, so stock that's technically owned but not yet cleared is visible and trackable, not invisible until it physically shows up on a domestic shelf.
What happens to a sales order when a shipment is delayed in transit?
Sales order management tracks the full order lifecycle from quote to fulfillment and handles backorders gracefully, so a delayed shipment doesn't just disappear from view. The order stays visible against the delayed stock, and fulfillment updates once the shipment actually arrives, instead of the order needing to be manually recreated or chased down.
Where a Simpler Tool Might Be Right
A trading business buying and selling in a single currency, with one supplier relationship and no multi-warehouse stock to track, doesn't need multi-currency consolidation or supplier performance scoring. A simpler invoicing and inventory tool is a better starting point. This page is for import/export and trading companies managing multiple currencies, multiple suppliers, or stock moving through more than one location.
