How Truo Trade works
One case. Six accountable hands.
Hover, tap, or use the arrow keys to see what each participant receives, does, and returns. Truo connects the work while each party keeps its own decision and responsibility.
EnquiryAccepted quoteOrder & specEvidenceDispatchDelivery
One shared caseQuote · order · spec · evidence · shipmentEvery action keeps its source and owner.EXPORTER / ACCOUNTABLE WORKSPACE
One commercial promise, held through delivery.
The accepted quote becomes an order with the exact packaging version. A change creates a revision and shows affected shipments, evidence and buyer approvals.
- Receives
- Buyer enquiry and accepted quote
- Works in Truo
- Approves terms, owns the case, sees cost and blockers
- Returns to the record
- Authorised release and change decisions
OPERATIONS / DAILY CONTROL
The next blocker has an owner and a deadline.
Shipment 2 is booked, but its PFAS report and PPWR role decision remain open. Operations sees those dependencies before dispatch, while shipment 1 stays delivered on spec v1.
- Receives
- Accepted order, spec bindings and target dates
- Works in Truo
- Assigns tasks, follows changes, checks shipment readiness
- Returns to the record
- Milestones, corrected documents and release status
IMPORTER / SCOPED GUEST
Approve what changed, with only the facts you need.
The buyer sees the released specification and the proposed resin change, records an approval, and tracks both movements. Internal supplier cost and margins remain outside the guest view.
- Receives
- Released spec, documents and shipment status
- Works in Truo
- Reviews change, answers assigned questions
- Returns to the record
- Buyer decision, actor and time
FREIGHT FORWARDER / BOUNDED TASK
One transport request. One current packet.
The forwarder gets shipment scope, the released invoice and corrected packing list. The withdrawn packing-list revision stays in the audit history, not in the active packet.
- Receives
- Route, cargo, deadline and released documents
- Works in Truo
- Acknowledges the task and clarifies against the case
- Returns to the record
- Booking, transport references and milestones
CUSTOMS BROKER / AUTHORISED AGENT
Declaration work starts from traceable facts.
The broker receives the released invoice and corrected packing list with the right shipment and specification. The authorised broker confirms classification and handles the filing; Truo records the reference and status.
- Receives
- Declaration-quality data and source documents
- Works in Truo
- Raises queries against the exact case version
- Returns to the record
- Filing references, queries and authority outcome
REVIEWER & LAB / QUALIFIED EXPERT
A report is evidence. A decision names its scope.
A changed resin opens fresh PFAS evidence work for spec v2. A simulated provider result is routed to a qualified person; buyer approval and dispatch release remain separate gates.
- Receives
- Exact spec version and scoped requirement
- Works in Truo
- Reviews source, report, applicability and gaps
- Returns to the record
- Bounded finding, reviewer and decision basis
Illustrative roles and permissions, based on TruoResearch. External parties receive only their assigned case scope.
Capability in development
Trade finance, without Truo Trade becoming the lender.
A funder asks whether the trade is real, whether it completed, and where repayment comes from. A connected record could support that application. Truo Trade would assemble it; a licensed funder would decide on it.
Clear accountability
The licensed funder owns the credit decision.
- Licensed funders own pricing, approval and credit risk
- Funds move directly between borrower and licensed funder
Where it starts
Post-shipment invoice finance first.
- Begin with finance readiness and post-shipment invoice finance
- Expand to buyer-approved and bank-authenticated facilities
Questions
Before you book.
If your question is not here, ask it directly — a person answers.
Which trade corridor does the demo show?
The interactive mockup follows the TruoDemo India → EU packaging fixture: a fictional Indian exporter supplies empty PET bottles and caps to a Dutch buyer. One accepted quote links to one order and two partial shipments from Nhava Sheva to Rotterdam. Parties, prices, dates and provider responses are illustrative.
Shipment 1 uses packaging spec v1 and is delivered. A resin supplier change creates spec v2 for shipment 2. Its PFAS report and PPWR role decision remain open, so a buyer approval does not silently become dispatch clearance. The demo does not claim a live provider integration or legal decision.
What is Truo Trade?
A trade operating system for exporters and their counterparties. It carries a trade from lead capture through order, export and import execution, and trade compliance in one record — so the commercial context, the operational state and the compliance evidence stay attached to the same thread. The exporter holds the licence; the EU buyer, the broker and the reviewer are invited into the individual trade case.
Is this a CRM, an execution system, or a compliance platform?
All three are operating layers over one shared trade record. That is the point: the layers are not separate products stitched together with integrations, and none of them owns a private copy of the truth.
If you only need a sales CRM, a general-purpose one will serve you better. Truo Trade earns its place when a deal has to become a governed, moving shipment.
Can we start with one workflow or one team?
Yes. Most teams begin at the commercial-to-execution handoff, because that is where context is most often lost. The record model means later layers attach to work already captured rather than requiring a re-import.
How does Truo connect to our existing systems?
Truo Trade is designed to sit alongside an existing ERP, forwarder portals and document stores. The approved integration list, the direction each one moves data, and its support status are published on the integrations page once each has been verified.
Do you provide trade finance?
Not today, and not as the lender when we do. A partner-led capability is in development: Truo Trade would assemble the dossier, prefill the lender's application and track conditions and status, while a regulated bank, NBFC, factor or ITFS platform owns eligibility, pricing, the decision, disbursement and collections.
A readiness check will say ready to apply. It will never say approved, and money will not move through Truo Trade.
How are automated results and human decisions kept apart?
They are separate fields on the record. A screening or classification result stores its source, scope, time and confidence. A human decision stores the responsible reviewer, the basis and the outcome.
The interface never merges them, and a recorded result never claims to replace customs, legal or compliance judgement.
What happens to our existing customer and shipment data?
It is mapped onto the record model during implementation, with the migration path agreed before any import runs. The specific approach depends on your current systems and is scoped during the product tour.
Where is data hosted and how is access controlled?
Access is controlled by role-based permissions with an append-only audit history of who changed what and when. Hosting locations, retention periods, encryption detail and data residency options are answered in writing during evaluation, and will be published here once verified.
How long does implementation take?
This is scoped against your systems and volumes rather than quoted as a headline number. A verified implementation timeline will be published here when there is enough delivery evidence to state one honestly.
Bring us a trade that went wrong.
Thirty minutes, your lane, your terms, your last messy shipment. We will run it on the trade record and show you where the record would have caught it — or tell you plainly that it would not have.
