Automatic Packing Totals

Cartons, pieces, gross/net weight and volume are calculated automatically, with cross-checks between goods and packing lines.

One Folder per Shipment

All documents of a shipment live in one place with draft/quoted/won/shipped status. Log in and continue anywhere.

EN & ZH Documents

English documents for overseas buyers, Chinese documents for domestic suppliers — one dataset, two outputs.

FAQ

What is the difference between a quotation, proforma invoice (PI) and commercial invoice (CI)?
A quotation is for pre-sale price comparison and has no settlement effect. A proforma invoice confirms the deal terms and is commonly used by buyers to apply for import licenses, open a letter of credit, or pay a deposit. A commercial invoice is the settlement document issued after shipment, used for customs clearance and payment. All three must be consistent — this workbench generates them from a single set of order data, guaranteeing consistency at the source.
Does the packing list need to match the commercial invoice?
Yes. Product names, quantities and weights on the packing list must correspond to the commercial invoice and bill of lading, or customs delays and L/C refusals can follow. This workbench cross-checks total goods quantity against total packing pieces and warns immediately on any mismatch.
Why do banks so often reject documents presented under a letter of credit (L/C)?
According to ICC estimates, 60–75% of L/C documents are rejected on first presentation due to discrepancies — commonly inconsistent spellings across documents, mismatched amounts or quantities, and date logic errors. Generating the full document set from a single data source is the most effective way to avoid discrepancies.
Is a proforma invoice legally binding?
A proforma invoice is usually not a complete contract by itself, but once confirmed by both parties it binds the agreed trade terms and is widely used as the order confirmation and payment basis. Formal claims rely on the contract and the commercial invoice.
How do I fill in trade terms like FOB, CIF or DDP?
Trade terms follow Incoterms 2020 and define the cost/risk split between buyer and seller. FOB and CIF are the most common; DDP puts all costs and risks up to the destination on the seller. Pick the term actually agreed — the document automatically carries your ports of loading and destination.
What are the advantages over Word/Excel templates?
With Word/Excel you re-enter data for every document type and manually reconcile four files after each change — the single biggest source of errors. The workbench enters data once, keeps four documents in sync, totals packing automatically and cross-checks pieces, with cloud storage and status tracking.
What does the free tier include, and what does membership unlock?
Free tier: 2 orders per month, English documents, watermarked exports. Site membership: watermark removal, your LOGO, EN & ZH documents, unlimited orders and permanent storage — plus every other PRO tool on the site.
Is my order data safe?
Documents are rendered entirely in your browser. Cloud orders are stored encrypted, visible only to your own account, never shared with third parties, and can be deleted at any time.
