Buyer, ports, items and terms come from the order. Packing gives the weights and package counts. You only add what is new.

Print, download and send
Print or download each document for your buyer, bank, CHA and forwarder. Email the posted invoice to your buyer from Expodite, and keep the exact copy that was sent.
Your buyers' formats
Each buyer gets the layout they expect
We set up each document in the format your buyer, bank or CHA asks for. Once a format is set for a buyer, Expodite uses it every time. Nobody has to remember which layout goes to whom.

What you issued stays issued
Know when a document no longer matches the shipment
An issued document is kept exactly as it was issued. If someone later changes the shipment, Expodite flags the document as out of date and offers to issue it again. You always know which copy your buyer has, and whether it is still right.

Certificates of origin
Certificate of origin drafts, filled from the shipment
Expodite prepares the exporter's draft for the issuing body, from the same data as your invoice. It covers the non-preferential certificate and preferential certificates for India's main trade agreements, such as those with the UAE, Australia and ASEAN.

Invoices, packing lists, labels, bank documents, shipment advice and certificate of origin drafts, among many others. Expodite comes with a library of export document formats across industries.
Can the documents match my buyer's format?
Yes. During set-up we prepare each document in the layout your buyer, bank or CHA asks for, with your letterhead and signatures. A format can be tied to one buyer, and Expodite picks it automatically.
What happens if the shipment changes after we issue the documents?
Expodite flags the affected documents as out of date. Correct the shipment and issue them again. The issued copy is replaced with the new one.
How do documents reach my buyer, bank and CHA?
Print them or download them as PDFs. The posted commercial invoice can be emailed to your buyer straight from Expodite, and the exact copy sent is kept with the invoice.
Is export documentation software the same as export management software?
Documentation is one part. Expodite is export management software, so the same record also runs your orders, purchases, shipments, payments and compliance.
