Accounting Software for Import & Export Traders in Singapore

The supplier invoice is only part of the story. Ocean or air freight, the forwarder's handling fee, insurance, duty on dutiable goods, trucking from the port and warehouse in-handling all arrive on separate bills, often after the stock has already been sold. Most traders end up pricing off the supplier invoice plus a guessed percentage, which quietly turns some SKUs into loss-makers.

A spreadsheet tracks what's in the warehouse, an invoicing tool issues the sales invoices, and the accountant rebuilds everything in a fourth system at month end. Nobody can answer "how many units of that SKU are unsold and what did they cost us" without an hour of reconciling — and by then the number has changed again.

Import GST, standard-rated local sales, and zero-rated export sales all have to land in the right boxes of the GST F5 return, and exports need proper documentary evidence retained. When shipment records sit in email and stock sits in Excel, pulling clean, defensible figures each quarter becomes a scramble rather than a report.

The people who most need visibility — warehouse pickers, the shipping coordinator, the salesperson quoting a customer — are exactly the ones you leave out when every extra login adds to the monthly bill. So they message the office instead, and the office retypes the answer into a spreadsheet.

Raise the PO against your overseas supplier, then attach freight, insurance, duty, clearance and trucking charges to that same shipment as the bills come in. Tallium AI spreads those costs across the units by value or quantity, so your inventory valuation and gross margin reflect what the goods actually cost to get into your warehouse — not just what the supplier charged.

Receiving, bin locations, batch or serial numbers, transfers and picking all update the same inventory record that your sales invoices draw down. Your salesperson quoting a buyer, your warehouse team packing an order and your accountant valuing closing stock are looking at the same number at the same moment.

Tag sales as standard-rated or zero-rated exports, record import GST on your inbound shipments, and keep the supporting shipment documents attached to the transaction. When your GST F5 return is due, the figures are already assembled and traceable back to source. Tax rules and treatment change — confirm current requirements with IRAS or a qualified local tax professional before filing.

Every plan includes unlimited users with no per-seat fees, so the whole team — warehouse, sales, admin, your bookkeeper — gets the access they need with permissions set by role. You pay one predictable monthly amount in USD, billed monthly from signup, cancel anytime.
