One export file, the same flow across ten countries.

— Definition

Foreign trade software — a system that manages export/import files, customs documents, letters of credit, multi-currency and international logistics in a single panel. Senkronix foreign trade solutions are fully aligned with Turkish customs regulations (BİLGE/GTİP/e-Export) and parametrically configured for each country's rules.

N° I — Why Custom?

Ten countries,
ten regulations.

Foreign trade is many times more complex than domestic sales. Each country has its own customs code, its own tax structure, its own document format; each bank has its own SWIFT rule. Managing this in Excel is virtually impossible. Off-the-shelf packages (SAP GTS, Oracle GTM) are powerful but require heavy investment.

In Senkronix foreign trade solutions, the engine is parametric. When you begin exporting to a new country, country code, GTİP, tax rules and document requirements are added via tables — no code changes needed. Automatic reporting to the Customs Ministry's BİLGE system, L/C workflows and SWIFT integration are all built in.

Advantages of a custom solution

Parametric country structure — add a new country without writing code
BİLGE, e-Export, e-Certificate of Origin — fully integrated with Turkish regulations
L/C management — document flow compliant with UCP 600
SWIFT integration — bank-to-bank payment instructions
Multi-currency plus FX-difference accounting — automated bookkeeping
INCOTERMS 2020 — FOB/CIF/DDP logistics responsibilities

N° V — Frequently Asked

Clear questions,
clear answers.

Does it connect to the BİLGE system?+

Yes. It integrates directly with the Customs Ministry's New BİLGE system; GÇB is prepared automatically, registered through the system and response messages are tracked. If you work with a customs broker, it stays in sync with their software.

How many export destinations are supported?+

Unlimited. Thanks to the parametric structure, adding a new country is typically a few days' work: country code, currency, key tax rules and document formats are defined. We have experience with the EU, the Middle East, North Africa, Russia and the Turkic Republics.

How is L/C management handled?+

The workflow complies with UCP 600. Every step from L/C issuance to document acceptance is tracked. Discrepancy checks are automated; after document preparation, submission to the bank via SWIFT and collection tracking are included.

How is FX risk managed?+

TCMB and bank rates sync every minute. Orders above/below a defined rate trigger automatic alerts. Hedging instruments (forward, option) are supported for accounting and reporting. FX differences between order opening and collection are calculated automatically.

Is VAT refund support included?+

Yes. All documents required for export VAT refund (GÇB, invoice, certificate of origin, transport) are produced in bulk and submitted to GİB in standard format. Each stage of the refund application is tracked.

Isn't it too complex for a small firm?+

The architecture is modular. A small firm starts with the essentials: quotes, GÇB, invoicing. As it grows, L/C, multi-currency, hedging and logistics modules are added. Starting cost is far lower than off-the-shelf packages.

Cost?+

Project-based. The number of countries/markets, integration scope (BİLGE, banks, logistics), module count and custom business rules are determined in Discovery. 3-4 months for small firms, 8-12 months for large enterprises.
