What is Export119?

Export119 is a multi-tenant SaaS platform purpose-built for the used-car export trade. It connects the four parties that move every car from auction to driveway — traders, shipping forwarders, customs brokers, and CFS (container freight station) operators — into one shared workflow with a finance system that ties out under IFRS.

The platform was built around the Korea → Libya / MENA corridor, but the model generalizes to any country pair where the same cast of characters needs to coordinate a multi-currency, multi-jurisdiction trade.

Who Export119 is for

Section titled “Who Export119 is for”

Trading companies

The buyer at origin and seller at destination. You source cars at auction, ship them, clear them through customs, and sell them — usually across at least three currencies. Most platform features serve you first.

Forwarders

Publish container and RORO (roll-on/roll-off) sailing schedules with pricing matrices. Traders book against them; you issue confirmation packets, B/Ls, and document checklists.

Customs brokers

See containers assigned to you, manage export and import permits, hand off cleared cargo to CFS or the trader’s consignee.

CFS operators

Receive loaded containers, confirm the shoring list (which car sits in which slot), and release to customs.

Inspection & audit firms

Coordinate inspections referenced from sales documents. Lighter footprint than the four roles above.

What makes Export119 different

Section titled “What makes Export119 different”

A few invariants that shape every screen:

  • Multi-currency from day one. Buy a car in KRW, freight it in USD, sell it in LYD — Export119 tracks vault cost basis under IAS 21, realizes FX gains/losses on consumption, and lets you read the balance sheet in your home currency.
  • The accounting is the source of truth. Every status change, invoice, payment, and FX exchange posts to the general ledger through a single chokepoint. You can void the source document and the GL reverses cleanly.
  • Consignment is a first-class mode. Cars you carry for a supplier never hit your inventory account. Capital risk stays with the consignor; you only recover costs and book commission. How it works.
  • Public surfaces are deliberately narrow. Your published cars appear on export119.com/market/<your-slug> with no cost or contact leakage. Anonymous visitors can browse and request quotes; everything else requires sign-in.
  • Four languages, both directions. English, العربية, 한국어, Русский. Arabic gets full RTL treatment everywhere — sidebars, tables, dropdowns, dates, numbers.

The end-to-end story

Section titled “The end-to-end story”

A typical car moves through Export119 like this:

  1. Buy — Add the car to inventory (principal or consignment), pay the supplier from a vault, capture landed costs (auction fee, transport, port handling, duty).
  2. Ship — Map the car to a container or RORO trip booked against a forwarder’s schedule. Status flips purchased → shipped automatically.
  3. Clear — Customs broker (or you, if self-clearing) handles export and import permits. CFS or yard receives and shores the cargo.
  4. Sell — Issue a quotation, then a proforma, then an invoice. AR opens; payment closes it. Status flips to sold_locally or sold_import.
  5. Account — Every step above wrote to the GL. Run trial balance, balance sheet, P&L at any time. Period-close lock prevents back-dated drift.

Each step has its own section in these docs. The Platform overview walks the same path with the screens you’ll actually use.
