Our Vision

A real platform — not just an idea

This is not a concept or a business plan. The platform is already under active development and contains a substantial set of working features. It already includes capabilities such as:

  • Product database
  • Customer and supplier management
  • Order management
  • Inventory management
  • Document generation
  • ERP/CRM functionality for small and medium-sized businesses
  • Automation through APIs for integration with other business systems
  • A growing knowledge base covering EU customs and product compliance requirements
  • A flexible data model designed to adapt to changing regulations

The current focus is to bridge the gap between day-to-day business administration and the information required for successful export to the European Union.

Is this relevant to your company?

This project may be particularly valuable if you recognize one or more of these situations:

  • Product information is spread across Excel files, Word documents, emails, and different employees.
  • Preparing customs documentation takes too much time.
  • The same information has to be entered repeatedly into different systems.
  • Finding the correct technical information for a product is difficult.
  • Important knowledge exists only in the minds of experienced employees.
  • You are uncertain whether you have all the information required by EU importers or customs authorities.
  • New EU regulations seem increasingly difficult to understand.
  • You would like to automate more of your export administration but your current systems are too limited or disconnected.
  • Your business has grown beyond spreadsheets, but a traditional ERP system is too expensive, too complicated, or not designed for international trade.

Roadmap

Summer 2026 - Beta Program

  • Launch the first beta version.
  • Work with a small number of manufacturers and exporters.
  • Validate workflows using real export cases.
  • Improve usability based on customer feedback.

Q3 2026 - Version 1.0

  • Public release of the first official version.
  • Complete the core ERP/CRM and product information management features.
  • Support the documentation needed for many common product categories exported to the EU.
  • Continue expanding integrations and automation.

Q4 2026 - Advanced Product Categories

Expand support for products with more demanding regulatory requirements, including categories such as:

  • Electrical and electronic products
  • Products containing batteries
  • Children's products
  • Cosmetics
  • Medical devices
  • Chemicals and other regulated products

The exact priorities will be influenced by feedback from our early partners and the products they export.

Why build a new ERP platform?

It is a fair question. There are already many ERP systems available, including excellent open-source alternatives.

We evaluated that approach carefully, but ultimately concluded that adapting an existing ERP would require compromises that would limit the platform for years to come.

Instead, we chose to build a modern platform from the ground up.

Our design principles include:

  • Product information first. Every piece of data should be entered once and reused throughout the entire business process, including customs, compliance, logistics, sales and documentation.
  • Built for international trade. The platform is designed for global business from the beginning—not for a single country or region. Our collaboration with Chinese exporters targeting the EU is simply the first step.
  • Designed for AI. The system is built to work alongside AI, allowing routine tasks to become increasingly automated while keeping humans in control.
  • API-first architecture. Every function should be accessible through well-defined APIs, making integration and automation straightforward.
  • Adaptable by design. International regulations change constantly. The platform is designed to evolve quickly instead of relying on years-long release cycles.
  • Ready for the future. We believe tomorrow's businesses will operate across new markets, technologies and payment systems. Rather than assuming today's way of working will remain unchanged, we are building a foundation that can adapt as international trade evolves.
  • Our goal is not simply to build another ERP and CRM system.

    Our goal is to build an information platform that remains useful as international trade, technology and regulations continue to change.

Features

Core Frameworks

Rodex is built around a number of independent frameworks.
Each framework solves a specific domain while remaining fully integrated with the rest of the platform.
Here are some of them:

Agreements

  • Human and AI readable regulations between any parties interacting with the system
  • Duty deferral tools to protect cash flow strategically across shipments

Media

  • Store article pictures, descriptions, technical data, user manuals and videos
  • Forward the information to connected B2B and B2C systems via MCP and API
  • Generate rotation and zoom for end customers
  • Enable product comparison or replacement
  • Calculate HS codes using AI

Monetary

  • Convert currencies instantly
  • Warn when currency fluctuations eats your margin
  • Support for crypto and stablecoins

Logistics

  • Integration with freight forwarders
  • Container and package database with environmental information
  • Unit conversion
  • Location information
  • Goods labels and packaging information
Built for the Future

Engineering for the long term

Many software systems contain assumptions that seem obvious today: that goods move only on Earth, that warehouses are operated by humans, that products are transported by trucks or ships, or that business is conducted only in national currencies.

We have deliberately avoided building these assumptionsinto the platform.

Instead, the underlying architecture is designed to describe products, locations, transport, storage and business processes in a more general way. This allows the platform to adapt as technology evolves, rather than requiring fundamental redesigns every time the world changes.

For example, the platform already supports concepts such as configurable coordinate systems, transport routes independent of any particular planet, environmental operating limits, machine-readable product data, and APIs intended for automation by both software and robotic systems.

Most users will never notice these capabilities - and they do not need to. They simply make the platform more adaptable, more durable, and better prepared for whatever international trade looks like in the coming decades.

Terminology Page

We sporadically maintain a Terminology Page explaining a lot of international trade related terms and showing how they map to the Rodex system.

We will soon provide API documentation.
