Compliance-native ERP for cross-border trade

One purchase order.
Every document. Audit-ready.

NanoCB turns a single purchase order into the full document chain — contracts, commercial invoices, packing lists and export evidence — with a built-in rule engine for China export tax refunds.

The problem

The evidence chain breaks exactly where it matters

Cross-border sellers run their operations in one system — and are audited as four different legal entities. Finance ends up rebuilding the same shipment folder by hand, every quarter.

Orders live in one ERP

Purchase orders, SKUs and quantities sit in a single operating system. Contracts and invoices, however, must be issued by the entity that actually bought and sold the goods.

Audits ask for 39 items

A first-time export refund review asks for contracts, customs declarations, bills of lading, FX receipts, VAT invoices and more — with continuous coverage periods, not just the shipment itself.

Manual packages take days

Matching document numbers across four systems, chasing stamped scans, and re-checking amounts is slow, repetitive and easy to get wrong.

How it works

Import once. Generate everything downstream.

A purchase order is the root document. Every contract, invoice, packing list and index is derived from it — with one number threaded through all of them.

Import

Upload the purchase-order export from your operations system (Excel today, API on the roadmap).

Route by entity

NanoCB reads the purchasing entity and routes each order into the right chain: invoice + customs export, or no-invoice procurement.

Generate documents

Purchase contract, export contract, commercial invoice and packing list — amounts, tax split and numbering computed, never copied by hand.

Verify & package

Field-level consistency checks, gap report against the refund checklist, and a hash-sealed evidence package.

Capabilities

Built for the people who have to defend the numbers

Everything is designed around one question: can you prove this shipment, end to end, on the day someone asks?

Document engine

Contracts, commercial invoices and packing lists rendered from order data — Simplified or Traditional Chinese, FOB terms, amount-in-words included.

Multi-entity routing

Exporter, offshore trading entity and store companies each get their own documents, from the same order. Routing is a rule, not a spreadsheet.

Refund checklist engine

The 39-item first-filing checklist is modelled per shipment, with mandatory vs conditional items and explicit “not applicable” reasons.

Gap detection

Missing invoices, unmatched FX receipts, inconsistent amounts: surfaced as a worklist instead of being discovered during the audit.

Evidence packaging

One folder per shipment with an index, a manifest of SHA-256 hashes and a checklist status — ready to hand over.

Tax-aware amounts

VAT-inclusive versus exclusive pricing by purchasing entity, estimated refund at the applicable rate, and a clear split between goods and freight.

Data-tolerant ingest

Handles real exports: merged-cell layouts, continuation rows, voided orders, freight and other charges. Line sums are reconciled against order totals on every import.

Roadmap

soon Email evidence capture, e-invoice (digital invoice) support, OCR for supplier invoices and customs declarations, HS-code refund-rate mapping.

Compliance

It produces documents. It does not invent facts.

NanoCB never backdates a contract and never generates correspondence that did not happen.

A compliance system that fabricates evidence destroys the very thing it is meant to protect. NanoCB is built around the opposite principle: pull real records together, prove they agree, and show exactly what is missing.

  • Four-flow consistency — contract, goods, payment and invoice references are cross-checked per shipment.
  • Continuous coverage — documents that must cover a period (lease, utilities, payroll, social insurance) are tracked as periods, not single files.
  • Customs-first truth — where documents conflict with the customs declaration, the declaration wins and the conflict is flagged.
  • Explicit non-applicability — conditional items (freight, e-commerce screenshots) are marked N/A with a stated reason, never silently dropped.
  • Audit trail — every import, generation and export is logged with actor and timestamp.
Security & deployment

Your prices, your customers, your data

Commercial documents are among the most sensitive files a trading company owns. NanoCB is designed to keep them on infrastructure you control.

Server-side only

Database credentials never reach the browser. The front end talks to the application API, nothing else.

Isolated per tenant

Row-level isolation by purchasing entity, so a store operator cannot see another entity’s supplier pricing.

Private deployment

Deploy in your own cloud account, or run the engine on-premise. No shared multi-tenant document store.

Tamper-evident output

Each generated document is hashed; the package manifest lets a reviewer verify nothing changed after issue.

Who it is for

Teams that ship, invoice and file refunds

Cross-border sellers

Multi-store, multi-market operations whose purchasing entity is also their export and refund entity.

Trading companies

Exporters buying from domestic factories and selling to their own offshore entities — where the paper trail must be perfect because the parties are related.

Finance & tax teams

Controllers and advisors assembling first-filing packages, and answering the same evidence questions every quarter.
