For small Indian exporters
Most exporters find out what an order was really worth somewhere between the freight invoice and the balance payment. ExportDesk puts the margin, the missing costs, the documents and the money on one record — so you know before you quote, not after you ship.
First order free, every feature included. ₹499 one-time per order after that — no subscription, and no card to start.
One order answers all of this
None of them are exotic. All of them are invisible at the moment you agree a price.
Destination handling, the bill-of-lading fee, cargo insurance — the charges a CIF quote does not obviously include. They arrive after you have already agreed a price.
The buyer revised the quantity after you sent the Proforma Invoice. Nobody notices until the bank checks the paperwork against the Commercial Invoice.
A 20% margin and a 20% markup are different numbers. Quote on the wrong one and you are light on every unit, of every order, permanently.
You pay the supplier before the balance arrives. Nobody tells you how large that gap is until you are standing in it.
Four steps, in the order the information actually reaches you.
Paste the buyer enquiry, the supplier quotation and the freight rate exactly as they arrived. Every field is marked as read, guessed or missing, and you review all of it before anything is saved.
Break-even, the price your target margin actually needs, expected contribution, and the working capital the order will tie up — with every cost showing where its number came from.
Quotation, Proforma Invoice, Commercial Invoice and Packing List, all from the same record. Change the order after issuing one and you are told exactly what no longer matches.
Track what the buyer has paid and what is still outstanding, then close the month with a profit and loss that accounts for every order you own.
Deal Check
Margin here is profit as a share of the selling price, never a markup on cost — the single most expensive arithmetic error in this trade. Break-even and your target price are rounded up, because a price floor that rounds down loses money on every unit you ship.
Risk checks
Deterministic rules, not opinions. Each one says what it means commercially and what to do about it: a thin advance, a balance due after delivery, an MOQ above your order, a lead time past the delivery date, FOB named against an inland city.
Document consistency
Each document version freezes the data it was generated from. When the order moves on, the drift is reported rather than silently rewritten — quantity, value, Incoterm, currency, destination, and the packing-list arithmetic.
Suppliers
Keep your manufacturers, their SKUs, minimum order quantities, capacity and price history in one place. Then ask the only question that matters: who can actually fulfil this order, and what does each one cost once packaging is counted?
Monthly P&L
Every order you own lands in exactly one bucket — shipped this month, shipped earlier, shipped later, or not yet shipped — and the buckets add up to your total. A statement that quietly drops an order is worse than no statement, because the number looks complete.
Merchant exporters, manufacturers who have started exporting, and first-time exporters doing roughly 0–20 shipments a month. You are running the order in your head, in WhatsApp and in three spreadsheets. You do not have an export manager or a customs broker on retainer.
ExportDesk is useful on your first order, to someone who has entered nothing else. No company setup, no item master, no chart of accounts.
Every one of these would make ExportDesk sound more complete and make it worse at the one job it has.
You pay per order, once. Nothing recurs, and nothing expires.
Your first order
Free
Every feature, on a real order. No card, no trial clock, no reduced version.
Every order after that
₹499
One-time, for one export order. No subscription, no seats, no credits that expire. If an order is not worth ₹499 to get right, do not pay it.
Your first export order is free with every feature included. Each order after that is a one-time ₹499 unlock. There is no subscription, no per-seat charge and no credits that expire — you pay per order, once, and only when you decide an order is worth getting right.
No. An ERP models a company and needs setting up before it is useful; ExportDesk models one export order and is useful on your first one. It does not do inventory, bookkeeping, GST or customs filing, shipment tracking or CRM, and it is not a substitute for your accountant.
Margin is treated as profit as a share of the selling price, not as a markup on cost — ₹100 at a 20% margin is ₹125, not ₹120. Break-even and your target price are rounded up rather than to the nearest paisa, because a price floor that rounds down loses money on every unit. All money is held as integer minor units, so there is no floating-point drift anywhere near a price.
Nothing is silently rewritten. Every document version freezes the data it was generated from, so when the order moves on, ExportDesk reports exactly what no longer matches — quantity, value, Incoterm, currency or destination — and you decide whether to issue a new version.
No. Extraction can read a pasted enquiry or quotation to save you retyping, and every field it fills is marked as read, guessed or missing for you to review before anything is saved. Every figure you might quote — margin, break-even, working capital, risk — comes from deterministic, unit-tested code. No AI calculates money.
No, and it says so wherever the question comes up. ExportDesk helps you notice commercial questions you may have missed; anything touching customs, tax, food regulation, destination compliance, Incoterms interpretation or banking is worded as something to confirm with your freight forwarder, customs broker or another qualified professional.
Yes. Keep your manufacturers, their SKUs, minimum order quantities, capacity and price history in the supplier directory, then compare them for a specific requirement. ExportDesk ranks by landed cost including packaging, and separately tells you who cannot fulfil the order at all — because of MOQ, capacity, a unit mismatch or a private-label requirement.
Yes. The monthly statement places every order you own into exactly one bucket — shipped this month, shipped earlier, shipped later, or not yet shipped — so the figures account for all of your trading rather than part of it. It also tells you when a reported profit is optimistic because a cost line is still blank.
No. ExportDesk runs in a browser and you sign in with your Google account. Documents print straight from the browser, so you can save any of them as a PDF without extra software.
