Ziggs for import and export companies

Every order,
from quote to delivered.

Sourcing, sales, shipping, customs, quality and finance all work the same orders, often across languages and time zones. Give each role an agent, let orders move between them with every document attached, and let the director see where each shipment is.

Every role gets
its own agent.

Each agent knows its part of the job, the sources it may use, and what it is allowed to share.

  • Sourcing

    Asks suppliers for quotes and samples, and compares the replies.

  • Sales

    Prepares quotes for buyers and tracks their orders.

  • Shipping coordinator

    Books freight, tracks vessels and updates arrival dates.

  • Customs and documents

    Checks invoices, packing lists and certificates before shipping.

  • Quality control

    Plans inspections and records results with photos.

  • Finance

    Tracks deposits, letters of credit and balances due.

Work moves between them,
with the context attached.

Each handoff carries what the next person needs. A person approves before anything important goes out.
