eTradeCart
What we solve
Cross-border trade is full of hidden risk: unverified suppliers, unclear pricing, missing documents, delayed shipments, and no single place to coordinate QC, freight, customs, and insurance. eTradeCart turns that chaos into a single guided flow.
For Buyers (Importers)
- Publish RFQs with clear product, quantity, and delivery terms.
- Compare supplier offers and lock price before direct contact.
- Activate services (QC, Freight, Customs, Warehousing, Insurance, Legal) per order.
- Track delivery in one place and rate suppliers after completion.
For Suppliers (Exporters / Providers)
- Complete KYC to earn a Verified Supplier badge.
- Bid on RFQs with price + terms + service scope.
- Upload required documents (B/L, AWB, QC report, etc.).
- Optionally delegate execution under our Zero‑Risk flow.
The core flow
- Sign up + verification → phone/email verification.
- Create request → product details, quantity, delivery terms.
- Select services → QC, Freight, Customs, Warehousing, Insurance (mandatory), Legal (optional).
- Publish → request appears in the marketplace feed.
- Receive offers → suppliers submit offers with price + delivery terms.
- Choose offer → price lock, then messaging/contact opens.
- Execute + track → partners/admin manage the service steps.
- Complete → confirm delivery and rate suppliers/services.
Zero‑Risk option
When a buyer selects “Final Quotation with Zero Risk”, eTradeCart coordinates the full cycle: execution teams (QC + logistics + customs) plus mandatory insurance and optional legal oversight.
This is for buyers who want one accountable operator instead of managing multiple vendors.
Trust + compliance
- KYC for buyers and suppliers before key actions (RFQ/quotes).
- Messaging opens only after price lock to reduce spam and fraud.
- Admin escalation for disputes and delays.
- Future: escrow + immutable records for QC/insurance/shipping documents.
