THE SCENARIO

A transaction in practice

A Nairobi importer accepts a customer order for a Mazda CX-5 at Kshs 3,100,000. Supplier payment, freight, port charges, duty and clearing fees are recorded against the job so the dealer can estimate the true margin.

All customer, price and vehicle details are fictional. They illustrate a workflow; they are not completed transactions inside the application.

AUTOMATION VS HUMAN CONTROL

What ABS helps organise

Operational records keep import milestones and cost components together for tracking and indicative margin reporting.

What ABS does not yet automate

Live customs, vessel tracking, duty assessment and payment-provider connections are not active. Milestone updates and tax figures are manually recorded.
