Why
Import costing in Excel always ends up costing a margin.
Three situations every trading company knows — and what GeniusTrade does with them.
Computed scenarios, not fragile cells
Purchase, freight, inspection, duty, multi-currency: every cost is structured data. The landed cost recomputes itself — no formula to break, no doubtful version of the file.
Transport per leg, margin recomputed
Routes, forwarders, volume-based rate cards: logistics costs live inside the deal. A rate changes? The scenario updates and the real margin is in front of you.
One platform, from RFQ to P&L
Supplier RFQs, quote comparison, costing, orders, shipment follow-up, per-deal profitability: the whole team works on the same data, in the same place.
Product
From the first supplier quote to the deal's P&L.
The complete flow of an import deal, in the trade's own vocabulary.
Compare supplier quotes, quantity breaks included
Each RFQ gathers the offers received, with quantity breaks and side costs (tooling, packing, supplier transport). Comparison happens on equal scope — no more "cheaper" quote that costs more landed.
| Supplier | 1,000 pcs | 5,000 pcs | 10,000 pcs | Tooling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hangzhou Metal Co. | $2.84 | $2.41 | $2.18 | $450 |
| Foshan Hardware Ltd. | $2.73 | $2.52 | $2.37 | — |
Cost several scenarios, keep the margin in sight
One scenario = one supplier, one logistics route, one inspection, side charges. Combine them, compare each scenario's landed cost and margin, and send your quote knowing the numbers.
| Supplier purchase (USD → EUR) | €41,200.00 |
| Sea freight Ningbo → Le Havre, 40'HC | €3,800.00 |
| Quality inspection (2 man-days) | €520.00 |
| Duties 6.5% + fees | €3,095.00 |
| Landed cost / unit | €4.86 |
| Margin at target selling price | +22.4% |
Follow shipments and real profitability
ETD, ETA, QC dates, client delivery: every milestone is dated and visible to the team. Once landed, the deal's P&L compares planned vs. actual — you know what the deal really made.
| Milestone | Planned | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| Factory quality control | Sep 02 | Sep 01 |
| Departure (ETD Ningbo) | Sep 09 | Sep 09 |
| Arrival (ETA Le Havre) | Oct 14 | — |
| Client delivery | Oct 21 | — |
