Eastbridge has raised its prices twice this year, and the last two shipments came in more than a week late. Worth a second quote before the next big order.

Sound familiar?

The problems we hear most from importers and distributors — and what Siniam does about them.

01

Running out while the container is at sea

Siniam knows how long each supplier takes and tells you to order while there’s still time for the shipment to land.

02

Buying in one currency, selling in another

Each purchase is recorded in the supplier’s currency at the rate you paid, and posts to your books in your own.

03

Trade customers who stretch their terms

Credit limits per customer, balances by age, and the late payers at the top of the list.

Questions

Questions, answered

Can’t find yours? Ask us.

Ask a question
Can I buy from suppliers in dollars?

Yes. Record each purchase in the supplier’s currency at the rate you paid; it posts to your books in your own currency.

Does Siniam work out landed cost?

Not automatically yet. Freight, clearing and other charges are recorded on each purchase, and buying prices update with each delivery, but spreading those charges across the items in a shipment isn’t in Siniam today.

Can I track serial numbers and warranties?

Yes. Record the serial number on each unit you sell, with its warranty.

Can I run a warehouse and branches together?

Yes. Each location has its own stock, and transfers move it between them with a record at both ends.

Built around you

Need it to fit exactly?

The engineers who build Siniam can connect it to the systems you already use, or build what your business needs that nobody sells. Tell us what you have in mind.
