About ImportHQ

Deep Dive with Clara AI

ImportHQ is production and purchase order tracking for small importers. It covers the stretch between placing an order and getting it on a ship, which for most importers lives in a spreadsheet, a chat thread and someone's memory. That is how a sample sits unapproved for three weeks and nobody notices until the ex-factory date has gone. Columns you name yourself Every purchase order is tracked against milestone columns you define. Rename them, reorder them, remove the ones that do not apply, or create your own. The built-in milestones are apparel specific, lab dips, PP samples, inline and final inspection, but you can rebuild the sequence for furniture, homewares, electronics or anything else you import. You also choose which milestone acts as the production gate, so orders are flagged at risk on the step that matters for your category. Orders that are slipping surface on their own Late orders flag automatically against their ex-factory date, and the gate logic catches orders where the sample is still unapproved with less time left than the supplier needs to produce. That is the difference between finding out now and finding out in six weeks. Everything on one calendar Every order lands on a shared ex-factory calendar, so a clash between two suppliers or a crowded shipping week is obvious while there is still time to move something. Suppliers scored on what they actually did The supplier scorecard is built from your own order history: on-time rate, how often samples come back rejected, and the lead times they really deliver rather than the ones they quote. Also included Documents attach to the order they belong to, any order exports as a PDF, and supplier and working currency are set independently at live rates.
