1. THE BEGINNING
This innovation initially came to life when…
…while Ben and Brandon were running their import/export business they realised there was no standard for exporters to easily create shipping documentation required for export. We started developing software to solve this and got accepted into the River City Labs / Muru-D Accelerator program in October 2016. We have since developed the B2B SaaS software to allow exporters to easily create shipping documentation in one place. We have travelled to the USA and will be launching the product there in the near future.
2. WHAT & HOW
The purpose of this innovation is to…
…streamline the documentation and compliance process required when exporting goods to overseas markets. It allows exporters to create all documents fast, compliant and all in one place to save exporters time and money.
It does this by…
…giving affordable cloud software that allows SME exporters to quickly fill out information and create all documents to get products exported. IncoDocs eliminates data re-entry, saves time and meets all compliance to avoid costly delays, fines and missed shipments.
3. PURPOSE & BENEFITS
This innovation improves on what came before because…
…SME’s have had no standard to create compliant documentation, from previously having to complete manual paperwork in broken Word/Excel templates, they now understand exactly what documents to create and can create and track them all from one system.
Its various benefits to the customer/end-user include…
…saving time creating documents and storing them all in one system. By ensuring compliance is met they will saving money by avoiding costly delays, fines and missed shipments.
4. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
In the past, this problem was solved by…
…previously there was no system where they could create, track and manage their export documentation. It’s a cloud based system that can be accessed from anywhere, on any device, at any affordable price. Companies now have a standard to which they can create documents which will ensure compliance.
Its predecessors/competitors include…
…exporters creating shipping documents are in both Word and Excel templates. There are some large ERP systems for large enterprise companies but lack of affordable software for mainstream SME’s.
5. TARGET MARKET
It is made for…
…small and Medium enterprise companies that are involved in exporting goods overseas. This ranges from companies that are new to exporting that are capitalising on new Free Trade Agreements, through to companies already exporting into overseas markets. Theses are companies involved in many different industries, from Agricultural (meat, dairy, supplements) through to manufacturing industries.
It is available for sale through…
…our website www.incodocs.com where companies can login from any computer anywhere in the world through their login details. Users pay a monthly subscription to access their account.
Our marketing strategy is to…
….use online marketing channels through targeted LinkedIn, Facebook, Google AdWords. We also partner with Freight Forwarding companies as these companies are handling the shipments for exporters. We have built a white label solution which allows the freight forwarders to offer this service directly to their export clients.
