Your business needs an ERP, not a spreadsheet


An import-export business manages a level of complexity that few industries can match: suppliers across multiple continents, orders in foreign currencies, transit times spanning several weeks, customs clearance costs that must be precisely allocated, and local resale to manage with tight margins.

At CIRTASOFT, we have supported Algerian importers and distributors in structuring their operations. We know that losses in this industry don't come from a lack of customers, but from a lack of visibility: miscalculated import costs, missing stock upon receipt, VAT and customs duties not factored into the actual cost price.

GestiumERP gives you an integrated tool that tracks each order from the supplier purchase order to local sale, through transit, customs clearance and warehouse entry - with accurate cost prices at every stage.

Challenges

The daily challenges of Algerian importers

These pain points are typical of import-export businesses managing their operations without an integrated ERP.

Unclear supplier order tracking

Dozens of ongoing orders with foreign suppliers, each at a different stage - confirmed, in production, shipped, in transit. Without a centralized tool, you lose track and surprises at customs are frequent.

Unknown actual cost price

The actual cost of an imported product includes the FOB price, freight, insurance, customs duties, VAT and transit fees. Without automatic calculation, you may sometimes sell at a loss without knowing it.

Unmanaged multi-currency

Purchases are made in EUR, USD or CNY depending on suppliers. Exchange rate fluctuations impact margins but are rarely integrated into the management system. Accounting suffers from these unreconciled discrepancies.

Uncentralized import documents

Proforma invoices, letters of credit, bills of lading, customs declarations, import licenses - each operation generates a stack of documents scattered between email, Drive and paper folders.

Desynchronized warehouse stock

Between goods in transit, those at port, those in bonded warehouse and those already being delivered to customers, it's impossible to know precisely what's available for sale without the risk of overselling.

Accounting disconnected from operations

Accounting entries don't reflect import costs in real time. Reconciling foreign supplier invoices, customs duties and local sales is a considerable manual effort every month.
In import-export, margins depend on details that only an ERP can calculate with precision: the complete cost price including all shipping costs, the exchange rate at the time of purchase, and duties and taxes upon entry. Without this, you're navigating blind.
Key feature

Complete tracking of an import operation from order to warehouse

Each import operation is tracked step by step: supplier order, shipment, transit, customs clearance and warehouse entry - with automatic calculation of the actual cost price at every stage.

With GestiumERP, each import operation is a living file that evolves in real time. From the supplier order, the system calculates the estimated cost price by integrating the exchange rate, customs duties and shipping costs.

At each stage - shipment, port arrival, customs clearance - the file is updated and the actual cost price is recalculated. Warehouse entry is done automatically with the correct actual unit cost for precise sales margins.

  • Step-by-step tracking of each import operation
  • Automatic calculation of the complete cost price (FOB, freight, customs, VAT)
  • Multi-currency management with integrated exchange rates
  • Centralized import documents per operation
  • Automatic warehouse entry at actual cost price
