Faster RFQs.
Better margins.
Complete control,
dock to delivery.

Ship chandling is the most time-sensitive supply chain in the world. Every RFQ must be read fast, priced right, sourced competitively and delivered to the vessel on time.

A2000ERP runs the entire workflow from vessel enquiry, quotation and procurement to warehouse picking, vessel delivery, e-invoicing and profit reporting in one connected system.

Why a specialist ERP

Ship chandling is not normal trading or wholesale distribution.

A single RFQ may carry hundreds of line items with incomplete descriptions and codes that follow IMPA, ISSA, customer or supplier conventions all at once.

Vessel ETAs change. Deliveries happen at berth, port, anchorage or by launch. Substitutions need approval. Proof of delivery must be traceable. And margins vanish the moment costs, quantities or exchange rates are wrong.

Generic accounting or inventory software can't handle this without spreadsheets, manual checking and duplicated work. A2000ERP replaces scattered emails, Excel files and disconnected accounts with one ERP workflow.

Provisions, bonded stores & technical supplies — one RFQ, hundreds of lines.
// What makes a single RFQ hard
Hundreds of line items per enquiry, often with partial descriptions
Four code systems at once IMPA, ISSA, customer and supplier codes

A better fit than generic software

Accounting software issues invoices. Ship chandlers need more.

You process large RFQs fast, match IMPA/ISSA items, compare suppliers, protect margins, coordinate vessel deliveries and track claims with accounting, inventory and compliance in the same system.

Generic accounting / inventory

Runs operations in Excel

  • RFQs handled by spreadsheet and email
  • No IMPA / ISSA item matching
  • Supplier comparison done by hand
  • Margins discovered after the fact
  • Accounts kept in a separate system
  • Single-currency, manual FX on global orders
  • Process knowledge trapped in individual staff

  • Process knowledge held in the system, not people
Government mandate · GST InvoiceNow

Singapore's e-invoicing mandate is here. Legacy software won't get you there.

IRAS now requires GST-registered businesses to send structured invoice data directly to IRAS over the InvoiceNow (Peppol) network. It's already in force for newer registrants and is rolling out to every GST-registered business on a fixed schedule and IRAS will notify businesses registered before 2026 of their date by mid-2026.

Most older ship chandling systems were never built for this. PDF and Excel invoices can't be transmitted to IRAS, and bolt-on patches rarely survive an audit. A2000ERP is built for InvoiceNow / Peppol so compliance becomes a switch-on, not a software rebuild.

Get InvoiceNow-ready with A2000ERP

Why legacy chandling software falls short

  • Issues PDF / paper invoices that can't transmit to IRAS
  • No structured Peppol (PINT-SG) e-invoice format
  • GST data re-keyed by hand, an audit risk at every step
  • Vendor at end-of-life, with no path to InvoiceNow
  • A2000ERP: structured e-invoices, ready to transmit to IRAS
  • A2000ERP: full audit trail from RFQ to invoice

Switching is supported. SMEs can tap the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) for up to 50% of eligible software costs, plus a new InvoiceNow onboarding grant of up to S$1,000 and InvoiceNow-Ready Solutions are free for SMEs until Mar 2031. Most ship chandlers land in the 2029–2031 waves, but onboarding a compliant ERP early means grants, a smoother migration and faster GST refunds.

  • Large vessel RFQs with many product lines, handled in minutes not hours
  • IMPA & ISSA code references with supplier item mapping
  • Fast supplier price comparison and contract / customer-specific pricing
  • Multi-currency quotations and invoices across global ports
  • Bonded stores, provisions and technical supplies in one catalogue
  • Real-time profitability by order, vessel, customer and category

Marine procurement lives or dies on the right code.

A wrong item, a missing code or an unclear description delays quotations, triggers disputes and holds up vessel delivery. A2000ERP standardises marine product data so your sales, procurement and warehouse teams speak the same language as your customers and suppliers.
