The problem

Trade runs on systems that do not talk to each other

Legacy software, spreadsheets, email threads, outsourced providers and paper. Every handover is a place where a consignment stalls, a code goes wrong or a cut-off is missed. SageDocs brings those activities into one connected platform.

Simplify trade operations

Replace fragmented systems and manual workflows with a single source of truth for documentation, shipment records and compliance activity.

Strengthen compliance

Standardise documentation and regulatory submissions across every government and industry channel you file into.

Move trade faster

Structured, repeatable processes for permits, declarations and certificates that cut turnaround rather than adding review layers.

Gain visibility and control

Documentation, workflow and lodgement status in one place, so teams can see where a consignment is without asking.

Scale with confidence

Handle rising volumes and growing compliance requirements without adding operational complexity or headcount.

Expertise when you need it

Our managed services wing can take on capacity or run the whole function, using the same platform your team does.

How it works

Three steps from order to lodged

01

Enter the consignment once

Consignor, consignee, ports, goods, weights and marks. Codes validate against the registers as you type, so a wrong tariff line is caught at the desk rather than at the border.

02

Documents generate themselves

Declaration, invoice, packing list, certificates. Every document draws from the same record, so a changed port changes everywhere at once.

03

Lodge and watch

Send to DAFF, Border Force, 1-Stop or the chamber without leaving the screen. Permits, EDNs and receipts land back on the consignment.

Technology and expertise, together

Software from people who ran the operation by hand

SageDocs was built by trade professionals who prepared this documentation as a service before they wrote a line of it. That is why the validation catches what it catches, and why support does not need the problem explained twice.

  • Founded by trade practitioners, not by a software vendor entering the market
  • Platform and managed services from the same team
  • Independently owned and Australian-run
  • Roadmap set by rejection reasons and customer calls
