Import Export Documentation Software in India
Introduction:
India is one of the fastest growing countries in the world today and exports are at the top of Indian government's priority. From traditional trading based economy, India is emerging as one of the top exporter and re-exporter in the world. Since the economy is still evolving and market is still in its adolescence, Indian exporters face the combination of half baked policies and ever changing laws. To top it all, they have to compete with other emerging economies who have advantages of established laws and policies.
How export documentation is handled today:
Preparing documents for Export (and as well Imports) can be quite challenging in this environment. At times, Exporters have to prepare multiple versions of the same document to satisfy different entities involved. At core any exporter will require at least these three documents
Export Invoice
Packing List
Certificate of Origin
There are several other documents such as
Proforma Invoice
Banking documents
Insurance
and many other documents may be required as per individual requirements. Most of the data across all these documents is common and is carried forward in sequential manner. For e.g. information such as
Importer's details
Product details
are repeated across all the documents, in what we call export documents chain.
Better way. Efficient way.
E-Formz offers India's online export documentation software to automate entire chain of export documents. Starting with Proforma Invoice,
E-Formz automatically carries forward all necessary information down the document chain, with only incremental information being fetched from the user. In other words,
E-Formz will generate export invoice and packing list right out of proforma Invoice with just click of a button.
The real Problem. Customization.
Generating a set of couple of documents can be easy; One can do it efficiently in word or excel.
Things become messy when you have to multiple of version of say
Export Invoice
with only bare minimal information changing or that for
Packing List.
Let say the government wants to list your Bill of Items in certain order and your customer prefers it in some other order. What if your customer wants in landscape oriented documents where as Indian customs want it in potrait.
