TradeDocs
TradeDocs is built for Chinese exporters. Fill company letterhead, line items, and trade terms once, then switch among five fixed-layout documents and download PDF. Labels default to English; Chinese or bilingual packs are available. It is not a customizable quotation builder—that is Quotely.
Five documents, one deal
Change the quote and the PI, contract, invoice, and packing list follow. Switch types without retyping header or lines.
| Code | Document | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| QT | Quotation | Price offer at inquiry |
| PI | Proforma invoice | Confirm price, payment, and bank details |
| SC | Sales contract | Terms agreed by buyer and seller |
| CI | Commercial invoice | Customs, collection, and bookkeeping |
| PL | Packing list | Packages, weights, and volume at shipment |
Who it is for
- Export sales repeating QT / PI / CI / PL for the same buyer
- Documentation staff checking five forms before shipment
- Teams that do not want to layout Word files by hand
- Companies that reuse logo, letterhead, and bank details across documents
TradeDocs vs Quotely
Quotely and TradeDocs are both built by ComTools. They cover two steps in the export workflow.
- Custom templates, formula pricing, catalogs, and share links → use Quotely (this site)
- Standard QT, PI, contract, commercial invoice, and packing list from one deal → use TradeDocs
- TradeDocs does not offer a drag-and-drop template designer; layout stays consistent for overseas buyers
Accounts are separate. Stay on Quotely for flexible quotations. Open TradeDocs when you need PI, contract, invoice, and packing list together.
Three steps to the first quote
- Complete company profile: letterhead, bank details, and logo appear on later documents.
- Pick products and create a deal: buyer, currency, Incoterms, and payment terms.
- Preview and download PDF: switch among five document types, then send to the buyer.
