Businesses buying from overseas suppliers waste significant time after the purchase order, manually keying POs, chasing production updates, and re-checking documents, with a single 700-line order taking three days to enter.

Existing tools like email, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets are not purpose-built for managing post-PO supplier interactions, leading to manual data entry, lack of real-time production updates, and document verification issues.
