Centrade vs LandedCost

Centrade is cloud-based global trade management software for coordinating international supply chains. It serves shippers, carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and logistics service providers through shared workflows. ShipLens tracks shipments from origin to destination with dates, locations, statuses, and history, while storing supply-chain and U.S. Customs records such as bills of lading, packing lists, certificates of origin, and arrival notices. It supports partner messaging, exception alerts, and notifications. Orderchain provides SKU-level visibility across purchase orders and containers to help prioritize shipments. Tradekey gives vendors a portal for information, compliance documents, routing guides, packaging requirements, factory and labor guidelines, and electronic pick-and-pack workflows. Advanced Analytics reports on on-the-water inventory, landed cost per unit, and carrier and forwarder performance; Centrade says Sisense data features aggregate data into customized displays. The platform supports ERP integration and RESTful APIs, with CargoWise and Descartes named as customs-broker pre-integrations. Centrade says its story began in 1973 as International Software Associates. Pricing is on request.

LandedCost calculates landed costs and per-unit profitability for importers and e-commerce sellers. Its engine allocates shared expenses by volume, weight, chargeable weight, units, value, or equal split. Shipments progress through created, in-transit, customs, and delivered stages, with costs accruing along the way. The platform calculates duty and import VAT by HS code and leaves reclaimable VAT out of profit calculations. Supplier invoices can use historical exchange rates from the day payment moved. Profitability calculations can include Amazon, eBay, and Shopify fees, while the extent of multi-channel features depends on plan. Listed channels also include Walmart, Etsy, TikTok Shop, and WooCommerce. Reports include CSV table exports, quarterly cost packs, and PDFs. The web-based cloud service offers tariff classification and landed-cost calculation, but not customs filing. Pricing starts at $49/mo, and the 14-day trial requires a payment card; billing starts on day 15 unless cancelled. Free import duty, HS code, invoice, FBA fee, and container tools are available without an account.
