Dozens of suppliers in Asia. Hundreds of SKUs per shipment. One platform to keep track.
FollowNet One centralizes electronic component imports, tracks part numbers and SKUs from supplier to factory, and connects foreign trade, Planning and the ERP, so your production line never stops for lack of visibility.
Exceptions resolved before they become costs.
Predictable operations, from planning to final delivery.
FollowNet One unifies events, documents, alerts and KPIs from import and export operations in one platform — so your team works by exception, not firefighting.
What blocks technology component imports
Part numbers with no end-to-end tracking
Hundreds of SKUs per shipment, multiple suppliers in parallel. Knowing where each component is takes hours of manually cross-checking spreadsheets.
Long lead times, and zero visibility before arrival
Components with 30–52 week lead times reach the forwarder, and only then does the import team find out. Planning decides with months-old information.
The BOM changes and the invoice doesn't match
Engineering revises the BOM after the order. The invoice arrives with a different part number. The mismatch only shows up at customs clearance, when the cost has already been incurred.
Manually re-keying invoices into the ERP
The analyst logs into the forwarder's portal, downloads the documents and mirrors each invoice line in the internal system. For re-imports, a single entry can take more than an hour.
3 plants, each with its own spreadsheet
São Paulo, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul: each branch with its own controls. Leadership never knows the real in-transit inventory without calling someone.
Tariff classification of electronics is complex
Semiconductors have NCM (Brazil's tariff code) variations that create tax discrepancies and the risk of fines. Without automated alerts, errors go unnoticed until an audit.
How FollowNet One solves technology supply chain complexity
Part number and SKU tracking, from supplier to factory
Search any part number and see where each unit is in the chain: at the supplier, awaiting booking, on the vessel, at the port, in customs clearance or in transit to the plant. FollowNet One ties PO, invoice, import declaration and delivery to a single key, with no spreadsheet in between.
Visibility before arrival at the forwarder, not after
FollowNet One receives invoices by automated upload or API directly from suppliers. As soon as the invoice enters the system, the import team and Planning already have visibility, without waiting for the forwarder to report receipt at the warehouse.
Unified visibility across multiple plants
FollowNet One brings imports from every branch onto a single platform. Analysts see their own plant's shipments. Leadership sees everything consolidated. No cross-checking spreadsheets between São Paulo, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul: the information is in one place, updated in real time.
SAP and ERP integration, with no invoice re-keying
FollowNet One integrates with SAP and other ERPs via API, EDI or data load. The invoice comes in automatically, with a pre-check for differences in amounts, NCM and PO balance, before it reaches the ERP. No more backlog or mismatches discovered at payment.
Alerts for mismatches, free time and tariff classification
Set alerts for NCM mismatches, exhausted PO balances, free time expiring in Europe or Asia and LPCO licenses about to expire. The system notifies whoever needs to act, and escalates to the supervisor if the deadline passes.
Who uses it, recommends it
With the system we managed to centralize everything. Today, if we have a problem, we can spot it the moment it happens.

When the question comes, I can open the system and give the exact status of where the cargo is: at sea, already arrived, or going through customs clearance.

Today FollowNet is a work partner for the operations team. Managing three plants on spreadsheets was very hard; today the visibility is always there.
