Control every trade deal before execution begins.
Keep buyer-seller terms, quantities, approvals, and obligations aligned in one execution-ready workspace.
The terms that decide how execution moves.
Parties & Ownership
Keep buyers, sellers, consignees, notify parties, and internal owners clearly mapped from the start.
Trade teams have information. What they lack is control.
Scattered deal terms
Commercial terms, delivery rules, payment conditions, and document requirements sit across emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, and chats.
Version confusion
Teams keep referring to revised contracts, old attachments, and manual notes without knowing what is finally approved.
Quantity uncertainty
Nominated, shipped, paid, cancelled, and balance quantities are tracked separately — often after the shipment has already moved.
Approval gaps
Finance, legal, operations, and management approvals happen outside the main workflow, making ownership difficult to trace.
Downstream mistakes
Wrong buyer names, quantities, ports, prices, or payment terms can flow into invoices, packing lists, BLs, and certificates.
Every shipment starts with a deal.
Every unclear deal creates execution risk.
Trade Deal Control brings structure to the first step of trade execution — before nominations, shipments, documents, and payments begin.
More parties. More pressure.
Export-import deals involve buyers, sellers, forwarders, CHAs, surveyors, banks, and transporters. One unclear term can delay the entire chain.
Terms change fast.
Prices, quantities, delivery terms, and payment conditions often change before execution starts. Teams need one trusted version.
Execution depends on accuracy.
The same deal data later moves into nominations, invoices, shipping instructions, BLs, certificates, payments, and closure.
Turn every trade deal into a controlled workspace.
CargoClave gives teams a simple way to structure, approve, track, and carry deal data into execution.
Deal Setup
Create one clean record for buyer, seller, commodity, pricing, delivery, payment, and documentation details.
Quantity Control
Track agreed, nominated, executed, paid, cancelled, and balance quantities from one view.
Approval Flow
Route deals to the right reviewers and keep a clear record of who approved what and when.
Obligation Tracking
Keep payment terms, delivery terms, document rules, and responsibilities connected to the deal.
Workflow Readiness
Carry approved deal data into nominations, shipments, documents, invoices, and payment tracking.
Audit Trail
Track changes, approvals, exceptions, and supporting documents without searching through emails.
The deal is signed.
But the workflow still runs manually.
Contract becomes a static file
The agreement exists as a PDF, but the data inside it does not guide execution.
Teams copy the same details
Buyer, seller, commodity, quantity, port, and payment details are re-entered across multiple workflows.
Quantity visibility comes late
Teams know the total contract quantity but struggle to see what is nominated, shipped, paid, or still open.
Payment terms are checked late
Advance, LC, credit days, and buyer approval conditions are often verified after execution has already started.
Disputes take longer to resolve
When changes, approvals, and obligations are not traceable, every issue becomes a manual investigation.
Better deal control.
Cleaner execution.
