Supplier quotes compared
Gather and compare vendor quotes before committing, so you buy at the right price.
Buy well, sell well, and see the margin on both sides of the deal.
Trading ERP that connects supplier quotes, purchasing, and stock to quotations, sales orders, and invoices — so the buy price, the sell price, and the stock in between are one picture, not three spreadsheets.
A trading business makes its money in the gap between what it buys for and what it sells for, and that gap disappears the moment purchasing, stock, and sales stop talking to each other. You compare supplier quotes in one place, track stock in another, and quote customers from a third — and the margin is whatever survives the reconciliation. Farexa keeps them connected: supplier quotes feed purchase orders, receiving updates stock, and that same stock backs your quotations and sales orders, so both sides of the deal reference one set of goods.
The buy side is controlled — vendor quotes compared, POs approved, receiving matched, supplier invoices checked before payment — and the sell side runs order-to-cash: quotations that convert to orders, A4 tax invoices, payments, and customer balances. Because inventory sits between them with valuation and batch tracking, you know what you're holding, what it cost, and what it's worth, which is exactly what turns 'roughly profitable' into a number.
That's the trading picture Farexa is built for: buy under control, hold with visibility, sell with terms, and read the margin because the buy price and the sell price live in the same system.

How it works

Set up products and partners. Create products, suppliers, customers, tax settings, branches, and warehouses.
02
Buy under control. Compare vendor quotes, raise approved POs, receive goods, and check supplier invoices.
03
Hold with visibility. Received stock updates inventory with valuation and batch tracking.
04
Sell with terms. Quote customers, convert to orders, invoice, and take payment against balances.

FAQ
What trading firms ask.
Can I see margin across buying and selling?
Yes. Supplier quotes feed purchasing, receiving updates stock, and that stock backs your quotations and sales — so the buy price and the sell price live in the same system, and margin is a number you can read rather than one that survives a reconciliation.
Is the buy side controlled?
Yes. Vendor quotes are compared, purchase orders are approved before commitment, receiving is matched, and supplier invoices are checked against the order and receipt before payment — so you buy at the right price and pay for what actually arrived.
Does it track stock value and batches?
Yes. Inventory sits between buying and selling with valuation and batch tracking, so you know what you're holding, what it cost, and what it's worth.
How is Trading different from Wholesale?
They overlap and share apps. Trading leads on the buy-and-sell margin — comparing supplier quotes and reading the gap to the sell price. Wholesale leads on selling in volume — customer price lists, bulk orders, and warehouse fulfilment. A business that does both can use both lenses.
Which apps does a trading business start with?
Usually Procurement, Inventory, and Sales together — that's the buy-hold-sell spine — then Accounting and Analytics so margin and stock value come off the same records.
