The ERP Platform for Chemicals & Polymers
Grades, batches, pack sizes, and paperwork — chemical and polymer trading is a compliance exercise wrapped around a commodity business. Trade Node keeps every batch traceable, every document attached, and every price grade-correct from enquiry to delivery.
- Batch-level traceability
- Grade-wise pricing
- Compliant documentation
The problems this trade lives with
- Same product, ten grades, ten prices: A polymer or solvent is never one item — it is grades, each with its own price and buyer. Quoting from memory across grades produces expensive mistakes.
- Batches on paper, liability in reality: Which batch went to which buyer matters — for quality claims, for recalls, for audits. Paper registers make that question a day-long search.
- Drums, bags, IBCs — units that never match: Buying in tonnes, stocking in drums, selling in kilograms. Unit conversions across pack sizes are silent margin killers when handled by calculator.
- Documents chase every dispatch: COAs, MSDS sheets, e-way bills, transport documents — every consignment needs its paper set, and a missing document holds the vehicle and the payment.
How Trade Node runs it
- Grade-wise catalogs and prices: Every product carries its grades as first-class items with independent live prices — quotes and orders always reference the exact grade, never "the usual one".
- Batch-tracked stock, end to end: Stock enters with batch numbers, dispatches record which batch went to which buyer, and the answer to "which lots did we ship them?" takes seconds, not a search party.
- Pack-size aware inventory: Drums, bags, and bulk quantities reconcile to base units automatically, so stock positions and invoices stay correct regardless of how material moves.
- Every consignment leaves fully documented: Invoices, e-way bills, and attached certificates travel with the dispatch record. Buyers download their documents from the portal instead of calling your office.
- GST and HSN discipline by default: HSN-correct, GST-compliant invoices generate from dispatch data — audit-ready billing without a month-end cleanup.
Why one platform
- Traceability is not an add-on: Batch identity flows through stock, dispatch, and invoice as core design — because in chemicals, "which lot?" is a legal question, not a curiosity.
- Built for regulated goods movement: Documentation, e-way bills, and dispatch records are one connected flow, so compliance happens as a by-product of normal work — not as a second job.
- One platform from enquiry to audit: Pricing, orders, batch stock, documents, billing, and ledger in one system means an audit trail exists for every kilogram without anyone maintaining it.

Yes. Material enters stock with batch identity, every dispatch records which batches shipped to which buyer, and batch history is searchable — essential for quality claims and audits.
How are different pack sizes like drums and bags handled?
Products carry pack-size definitions that reconcile to base units automatically, so stock, orders, and invoices stay accurate whether material moves in drums, bags, or bulk.
Does the platform handle GST and e-way bill requirements?
Yes. Invoices are GST-compliant with correct HSN codes, and e-way bills are generated and attached at dispatch time as part of the normal flow.
