ERP for trading companies — from container to cash
Buy in one currency, ship by container, sell in another, and account for VAT in between. Mizo keeps purchasing, landed cost, stock and the ledger in one system, so the margin you see is the margin you made.
14 days, full access, pre-loaded with sample data. No credit card.
The problem
Where trading businesses lose margin without noticing
Freight and duty sit outside the cost
When shipping, customs and clearing charges live in a separate sheet, stock is valued at the supplier price and every sale looks more profitable than it is.
Average cost drifts from reality
A flat average blends old cheap stock with new expensive stock, so your cost of sales stops matching what you actually paid.
Exchange rates copied once and forgotten
Supplier bills in USD or CNY, sales in AED — without real FX gain and loss on payment, the difference disappears into a suspense account.
Quotes chased over email
Comparing supplier offers in a spreadsheet hides who is actually reliable, not just who quoted lowest.
What's included
Built around how goods actually move
- Container shipments. Track each shipment and what's on it, from purchase order to arrival in stock.
- Landed cost, allocated per shipment. Freight, duty and clearing spread automatically across the items in the container, so each item carries its true cost. See a worked example →
- FIFO stock valuation. Real cost layers, not a flat average — your cost of sales reflects the stock you actually sold.
- Multi-currency, done properly. Real exchange rates on invoices, vendor bills and credit notes, with genuine FX gain or loss calculated when you pay or get paid.
- Vendor RFQs with bid scoring. Run multi-vendor rounds scored on price, payment terms, lead time and credibility; vendors respond through their own portal.
- Reorder alerts. Mizo flags stock below its par level and tells you what to reorder — it warns, it never places an order for you.
- VAT and UAE e-invoicing. A configurable tax engine and invoices prepared for the PINT AE e-invoicing format. See the e-invoicing deadlines →
- Bank reconciliation. Upload an Emirates NBD statement and Mizo matches it against your ledger line by line.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is landed cost and why does it matter for trading companies?
Landed cost is the full cost of getting goods into your warehouse: the supplier price plus freight, insurance, customs duty and clearing charges. If those charges are not added to stock, every item looks cheaper than it really was and your reported margins are overstated.
Does Mizo support FIFO inventory valuation?
Yes. Mizo values stock using FIFO cost layers, so the cost of each sale comes from the actual stock layer it was sold from rather than a blended average.
Can Mizo handle purchases and sales in different currencies?
Yes. Invoices, vendor bills and credit notes can be in foreign currencies with real exchange rates, and Mizo calculates the FX gain or loss when a payment is made or received.
Is Mizo ready for UAE VAT and e-invoicing?
Mizo includes a configurable VAT engine and prepares invoices and credit notes in the PINT AE format required by the UAE e-invoicing system. Sending through an accredited provider is included in every paid plan, through Mizo's ASP partner, from January 2027, or you can connect an ASP you have already appointed.
How long does it take to move to Mizo?
There is no implementation project. You can import contacts, products, invoices and your chart of accounts from spreadsheets on the first day, and test with a real week of operations during the free trial.
