Verbum Importer

From the order abroad to the product on the shelf, with the real cost of each item.

Foreign suppliers, purchase orders, shipments on the way, customs clearance, landed cost, payments in two currencies and stock, next to the conversation with each supplier and customer.

What stands out

Example: a supplier confirms the shipment on e-mail. Verbum records the shipment against the purchase order, warns the team before it arrives and, when the expenses are in, shows the landed cost of each item.
