Bytes & Acres

Export paperwork, solved.

Export Dossier turns one shipment's buyer terms, compliance, costs, and payment terms into a bank-ready dossier and proforma invoice — automatically, from data you only ever enter once.

Every export deal starts the same way: paperwork.

Buyer terms, compliance certificates, costs, payment terms, risk — usually scattered across six different documents, retyped at every stage, and reconciled by hand before a single container ships.

The product

One workflow, six stages.

1

Deal & buyer

The shipment at a glance — what’s moving, to whom, and how.

2

Source & compliance

Where the produce comes from, and the certifications that prove it.

3

Resources & costs

What the shipment consumes, and what it costs to land it with the buyer.

4

Payment terms

How and when the buyer pays, and what stands behind that promise.

5

Risk & responsibility

What could go wrong, how it’s managed, and who owns each part of the deal.

6

Summary & brief

Everything above, compiled automatically into a brief a bank or buyer can read in seconds.

Summary & brief stage, auto-compiled from every earlier stage
Organization performance dashboard
Generated deal dossier PDF
Generated proforma invoice PDF

And the output is immediate: a branded, bank-ready PDF dossier, a proforma invoice, and a live performance dashboard — all generated from the same data, typed once.

Why now

Export-led growth, without the paperwork drag.

Export-led growth is one of the clearest paths to foreign exchange earnings and job creation across African economies — yet the documentation behind it hasn't caught up. Export Dossier starts with coffee, tea, and fresh-produce exporters: the commodities with the most scattered, highest-stakes documentation burden, and the clearest path to a bank-ready dossier paying for itself on the very first deal.

Where it stands

Real and in use, not a mockup.

  • In active pilot testing with export companies in Rwanda — not a mockup.
  • Self-serve signup: any export company can onboard in minutes.
  • English, French, and Kinyarwanda from day one.
  • Bank-ready PDF dossier and proforma invoice, generated automatically.
