Stage 1 · Import LC Opening & Margin Deposits
Spreadsheet Chaos vs. PolyDesk Precision

Eliminate the 6 blind spots leaking trading margins.

General accounting software balances the ledger, but leaves warehouse, sales, and management flying blind on actual lot profitability.

1. Landed Cost Engine

Dynamic multi-stage capitalization across foreign exchange, customs duty, port wharfage, and demurrage.

Zero Cost Drift
Commercial Goods: $1,050/MT · Customs: 15% · Clearing: PKR 145K Landed Rate: PKR 392.01/KG
Conventional ERP / Spreadsheets Clearing and port handling bills arrive 15–45 days post-arrival. Traders guess margin or close books with arbitrary landed rates, concealing real cost drift.
PolyDesk Operating Invariant Approved, fully paid capitalizable charges allocate by weight or value. Post-warehouse additions create traceable valuation and COGS adjustments.

2. Hard Lot Allocation & Provenance

Physical lot segregation across warehouse depot bays with enforced gate pass reservations.

Depot Lot Provenance
Lot: PD26-LC01-P1 · Depot: Dispatch Bay 2 · Allocated: 6,000 KG Available: 4,000 KG
Conventional ERP / Spreadsheets Generic SKU totals in Excel allow sales reps to sell already-committed inventory, causing delivery failures, stock splits, and emergency spot purchases.
PolyDesk Operating Invariant Delivery challans consume selected physical lots under transaction locks; live warehouse availability is revalidated before every dispatch.

3. Payment Governance & Cheque Safeguards

Staged maker-checker authorization with automated duplicate-cheque detection and explicit acknowledgement.

Maker-Checker Review
Cheque #904812 · Voucher JV-0120 · Queue Status: Verified Duplicate Scan: Clear (0 Matches)
Conventional ERP / Spreadsheets Verbal authorizations and WhatsApp payment requests lead to cheque collisions, unauthorized transfers, and unverified bank disbursements.
PolyDesk Operating Invariant Journal, receipt, and payment vouchers stay out of the ledger until approval. Duplicate cheque matches surface a warning that requires explicit acknowledgement.

4. Post-Dated Cheque (PDC) Registry

Maturity-aware review of future-dated instruments with controlled approval or rejection.

Maturity Review
PDC Reg: PKR 4.5M · Maturity: +45 Days Ledger: Posted · Review: Pending
Conventional ERP / Spreadsheets Future-dated cheques disappear into physical files or undifferentiated ledger notes, leaving maturity and review status invisible.
PolyDesk Operating Invariant PDCs remain visible in a dedicated maturity register. After maturity, approval confirms the posting; rejection voids the voucher and removes its ledger effect.

5. FIFO Receivables Aging Schedule

Automated cash receipt reconciliation against forward commercial credit terms.

Forward Terms Match
Bucket 1-30d: PKR 12.4M · Bucket 31-60d: PKR 4.2M Overdue (>60d): 0.00%
Conventional ERP / Spreadsheets Unallocated lump-sum customer receipts obscure old unpaid balances, triggering invoice disputes and bad debt write-offs.
PolyDesk Operating Invariant Unallocated receipts reduce the oldest obligations first; the remainder is scheduled by creditable date into Current, 1–30, 31–60, and 60+ buckets.

6. Continuous Financial Reconciliation

Synchronous revenue, COGS, and gross margin booking on every physical gate pass dispatch.

Dispatch-Recognized P&L
Dispatched Sales: PKR 6.62M · Landed COGS: PKR 5.23M Realized Gross Profit: PKR 1.39M (21.01%)
Conventional ERP / Spreadsheets Trading houses wait 5 to 10 days for month-end manual Excel rollups to discover whether a finished LC generated a profit or loss.
PolyDesk Operating Invariant Sales and COGS are recognized on dispatch. The dashboard and LC analysis recompute gross profit from landed cost, approved returns, and attributable charges.
Who PolyDesk is for

Built for businesses that trade physical goods—not just invoices.
