Built by an exporter, for exporters.
XportStack is the export operating system for F&B companies shipping to international markets. One system for quotes, shipments, compliance, distributor management, and margin control.
Why XportStack exists
Most F&B exporters run their operations from a combination of spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, email threads, and memory. Quotes are calculated in Excel without accounting for freight, duty, or distributor support costs. Certification expiry dates live in someone’s calendar. Distributor relationships depend on one person’s phone contacts. When that person leaves, the context leaves with them.
This setup works until it does not. A certification expires two days before a vessel arrives. A quote goes out at 38% gross margin, but the true margin after all costs is 11%. A distributor goes quiet for 60 days and you find out when they sign with a competitor.
XportStack was built to solve these problems, not as a theoretical exercise, but because its founder lived through every one of them.
What XportStack does
Margin protection
Calculate true export margin after every cost. Set a margin floor that automatically blocks quotes below your minimum. No more guessing whether a deal is profitable.
Shipment readiness
Track every shipment on a 60-day timeline. A pre-shipment checklist flags missing documents and certification issues before you book the container.
Distributor health
Score every distributor on reorder patterns, payment behaviour, and responsiveness. Get alerts when a relationship shows signs of declining engagement.
Certification tracking
Track every certification across every market. Automatic alerts at 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry. No more surprises at the port.
Export Independence Score
How much of your export business runs from the system, not from memory. Protect your business from key-person dependency.
Branded importer portals
Give each distributor their own branded portal to view orders, documents, and communications. Professional. Organised. Yours.
