Trade shouldn't run on WhatsApp and hope
Indian MSMEs lose weeks to opaque pricing, scattered compliance rules, and no way to tell a good provider from a risky one. Here's what changes.
The old way
- Chasing 5 CHAs over WhatsApp for a single quote
- No way to compare freight cost breakups apples-to-apples
- No idea if a provider is actually reliable before you commit
- HS code, duty and RoDTEP lookups scattered across gov portals
- Shipment status is whatever the forwarder tells you, whenever they reply
The OliveTree way
- Post one RFQ, get itemized bids from matched providers
- Every bid broken into line items, compared side by side
- Verified badges, tenure and completed-order history up front
- HS code duty/RoDTEP/GST lookup built into your dashboard
- Live milestone tracker from booking to delivery
One platform, both sides of the trade
Whether you're sourcing services or offering them, the flow is built around getting to a decision fast.
Look up your HS code for duty/RoDTEP rates, then post a structured RFQ — port, mode, commodity, cargo details.
Vetted providers matching your service categories are notified instantly and typically bid within hours.
See every quote broken into line items side by side. Award with one click — no chasing seven inboxes.
Follow every milestone — pickup, gate-in, customs exam, LEO, BL, departure, arrival — in one tracker.
Everything from HS code to doorstep
Built around the four things that actually slow Indian trade down: compliance, sourcing, paperwork and finance.
HS Code & Duty Hub
Search by code or product description to see export duty, RoDTEP, duty drawback, import duty and GST in one place.
Guided RFQ Builder
A structured form — trade type, mode, ports, cargo, services needed — so providers get everything they need to quote accurately.
Side-by-Side Bid Comparison
Every quote itemized and laid out in one table. Award with a click; every other bid closes automatically.
Verified Provider Network
CHAs, freight forwarders, insurers and consultants go through KYC review before they earn a verified badge.
