Forecast
Seasonal demand, reorder pressure, lead times, and dead-stock risk show early.
Import Operations
Import ERP software for landed cost, stock, and margin control.
FlowIQ gives importers and distributors one operating layer for purchase orders, shipments, landed cost, inventory valuation, and margin visibility without the usual ERP drag.
Import cost control
Connected import story
Purchasing, freight, stock, and finance move as one flow.
FlowIQ keeps supplier orders, shipment costs, receiving, FIFO valuation, pricing, VAT, and reporting connected so your team does not rebuild cost truth after the work is done.
ForecastIQ
PurchaseIQ
ImportIQ
AccountingIQ
The import chain stays connected from forecast to finance.
The same data moves from demand planning into buying, shipment costing, inventory valuation, pricing, and accounting.
Purchase
Supplier orders, approvals, expected quantities, and inbound commitments stay controlled.
Import
Freight, duty, FX, clearance, and other costs stay attached to the job.
Receive
Stock lands with SKU-level landed cost and FIFO value already in place.
Price
Sales and price lists use current cost truth, not stale spreadsheet numbers.
Account
VAT, journals, reconciliations, reports, and cash controls line up.
When teams move from spreadsheets to an import ERP
The trigger is usually the same: purchase orders, shipments, stock, and landed cost all exist, but nobody trusts the final margin answer quickly enough to act on it.

What “import ERP” really means
Most ERP systems treat importing as an edge-case: a few shipment fields, then manual allocation in finance. Import businesses need the opposite. Importing is the core operation, costs are multi-part, timing is uncertain, and pricing decisions have to happen before final cost is fully settled.
An import ERP has to connect purchase orders, shipments, landed cost, inventory receipts, and margin into one chain. Otherwise decisions get made on partial truth.
FlowIQ is designed around that chain so cost truth flows into inventory and reporting automatically. If your next bottleneck is stock visibility after landed cost is posted, see our inventory software for importers page.
What you get with FlowIQ
- Shipment-level cost capture across supplier value, freight, duty, clearance, insurance, and FX variance.
- Allocation logic across SKUs using value, weight, CBM, or policy-driven rules.
- Receipt into inventory with landed cost applied so valuation and margins align.
- Forecast-driven reordering that reduces stockouts and excess stock.
- Cleaner accounting outcomes because operational records stay consistent.
