Pure trading companies run no factory of their own — they procure from domestic suppliers and re-export to overseas customers. The core pain isn't on the production side but in "abundant documents + multi-supplier coordination + FX collection/payment cash flow + tax-rebate filing." SBK offers a lightweight, ready-to-use solution for pure-trade scenarios: a full set of trade document templates + a two-way FX collection/payment loop + automatic rebate summarization.
The 6 issues SOHOs / small-to-mid trading companies care about most
Pain: editing PI / CI / PL in Excel every time is error-prone. SBK: 30+ templates auto-filled from order data, one-click PDF
Pain: one order consolidates goods from 3 factories — hard to track. SBK: integrated supplier profiles + purchase-order tracking + intake appointments
Pain: hard to account across USD / EUR / HKD multi-account, multi-currency. SBK: multi-currency account management + bank reconciliation + multi-view profit
Pain: matching the three documents — customs declaration + VAT invoice + FX verification — by hand. SBK: auto-match the three documents along the order line + filing base sheet
Pain: it looks profitable on the books but may lose money after all fees. SBK: 6-dimension cost grouping to the order + rebate auto-added back
Pain: a SOHO handles sales / documentation / finance alone. SBK: ready to use with no training, a full document set 30 minutes after ordering
"Foolproof mode" workflow progress
A SOHO does it all solo: reply to inquiries in the morning, send quotes at noon, take contracts in the afternoon, reconcile and collect FX in the evening. The system must be "ready to use, no training." SBK turns the standard trade workflow into "foolproof mode": inquiry → quote → contract → PI → stocking → PL → customs → B/L → FX collection → tax rebate, asking the salesperson only for decisions, not how to operate.
Export order SO-0418 split to factories
Pure trade keeps no factory but must coordinate stocking with 5-10 domestic factories. Supplier-profile management, purchase-order tracking, intake appointments and payment plans all run in one system — no need to call and email each factory separately to confirm progress.
Three document sources summarized
Pure trading companies have thin margins, and the rebate is often the bulk of profit. But rebate filing involves "VAT invoices from domestic suppliers, the customs declaration from the broker, FX verification produced by yourself" — three document types from different sources, at different times, in different formats, making reconciliation hard. SBK summarizes uniformly along the order line, producing the filing base sheet in one click at month-end.
One person handles 5-10 orders with ease — 30 minutes each from contract to the full PI set — leaving the rest of the time for customer follow-up.
1 sales + 1 documentation + 1 finance, with clear division of labor, runs 50 orders a month steadily and never misses a single rebate.
One container mixes products from 3 factories; procurement costs are grouped separately per PL, so each factory's payable is accurate.
At month-end click "Generate rebate base sheet"; with the three documents fully linked by order, it exports to the tax bureau in 5 minutes.
