The problem
Your business didn't get complicated on purpose.
Every company we work with grew the same way: real work, fast growth, and tools that never quite caught up. The cost shows up in slow days, wrong prices, and numbers nobody fully trusts.
“The problem was never that the work didn't happen. It's that the work happened in twelve different places.”
12 Excel files, 4 notebooks
Sales in one file, purchases in another, prices in a third — and the master copy nobody is sure is current.
Prices in someone's head
The right price, credit limit, or landed cost lives with one person. When they're away, decisions slow down.
The import cost you can't retrace
Freight, insurance, customs, clearance — all paid in different weeks, in different currencies, onto different lines.
Reports rebuilt by hand
Every month, someone re-adds the numbers in Excel. The report lands late and the numbers don't match the floor.
The platform
Every workflow you run, in one system.
Redfox is not a collection of separate tools. It is one system where a sale touches stock, an import touches cost, and a service job touches both.

Imports
From supplier proforma to landed cost — without losing a single number.
Importing is where Ethiopian trading businesses feel the most pressure: foreign currency, customs, and costs spread across weeks. Redfox keeps every shipment, document, and birr accounted for.
- 01
Supplier proforma
Capture the proforma, the supplier, currency, and payment terms before anything ships.
- 02
Shipment
Follow the shipment with ETD, ETA, milestones, and every document that needs to move with it.
- 03
Customs & clearance
Track the customs process and what it costs — duties, tariffs, and clearance fees.
- 04
Receiving
Receive into the warehouse against the import order line by line.

Finance & tax
The numbers regulators ask for, prepared from work — not rebuilt in Excel.
Finance in Redfox is not a separate ledger you copy into. It is the same sales, purchases, and payments the business already records, organized into the periods and registers Ethiopia's tax system expects.
VAT, TOT & withholding with evidence
Registers are drawn from source records — every line traces back to an invoice or a payment.
Closes that match Ethiopian reporting
Monthly, quarterly, and yearly periods produce the summaries your accountant and the tax office ask for.
Validation before you file
The audit layer questions balances and flags mismatches while there is still time to fix them.
Service operations
Service work that costs what it should.
Labor, parts, and tools disappear in most service businesses — the invoice never matches what actually happened. Redfox ties every job to the material that left the shelf and the hours the team logged.
Order to invoice
Intake, quote, work, cost, deliver — one thread.
Material requests
Parts requested, approved, and issued from stock.
Tools & assets
Tools assigned and maintained, not misplaced.
Job costing
Real usage priced into every invoice.

Fitment — the auto-parts edge
Know exactly which part fits which vehicle.
Most ERP systems end at the invoice. For auto parts, the question after the invoice is harder: does this part actually fit? Redfox answers it from a registry your team builds and validates — not from memory.
Part ↔ vehicle, by data
A structured registry linking every SKU to the vehicles it fits — no more asking the most senior salesman.
Substitutes that sell
Equivalent parts are grouped, so a sale or a repair flexes with what's actually on the shelf.
Conflicts caught early
A validation center flags unverified or conflicting applications before they reach a customer.

Intelligence
AI that reads the work your team already does.
Redfox is not a decorative AI layer bolted onto a dashboard. It reviews real transactions — product movement, supplier behavior, import costs, fitment relationships, service work, and financial pressure — and surfaces what needs attention, with the reasoning shown.
Human-reviewed, every time
The system suggests; your team decides. Every signal comes with the records behind it, so a reviewer can verify before acting. No black box, no auto-decisions on your money.
A fast-moving item drops below safe coverage — the system suggests a purchase quantity.
A shipment clears customs with new charges — landed cost needs re-allocation.
A new part-to-vehicle link conflicts with an existing application.
VAT, withholding, or receivables need attention before the period closes.

Common questions
What Redfox is — and what it does.
Still have a question?
Read the full module guide or talk to the team — we are happy to walk through how Redfox would fit your workflows.
What is Redfox?
Redfox is a business management system — an ERP — built in Ethiopia for trading and service businesses. Sales, inventory, purchases, imports, finance, service, fitment, and customer tools share one product catalog, one stock record, and one money trail, with AI-assisted review on top of the work your team already records.
Is Redfox an ERP system?
Yes. Redfox covers the core of what an ERP does — inventory and stock management, sales and purchase orders, invoicing, import and landed-cost tracking, finance and tax reporting, service operations, and reporting — as one connected system rather than separate tools bolted together.
Does Redfox include inventory and stock management?
Inventory is one of Redfox's core modules: multiple stores and warehouses, per-store quantities and values, transfers between stores, cycle stock counts, damage and loss adjustments, and availability checks inside sales. Stock is valued at landed cost the moment imported goods arrive, and every movement keeps an audit trail.
What kind of businesses is Redfox built for?
Redfox is built for Ethiopian trading and service businesses — importers and distributors, auto parts dealers, workshops and service centers, and companies that run sales, stock, and finance together. It handles birr-based operations, Ethiopian tax periods, HS codes for imports, and work in Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromo, and English.
Does Redfox handle Ethiopian tax compliance?
Yes. VAT, TOT (turnover tax), and withholding registers are drawn from source records — every line traces back to an invoice or a payment — with monthly, quarterly, and yearly closes that produce the summaries your accountant and the tax office ask for.
Can we get started without replacing everything at once?
Redfox works as one system, but you adopt it at the pace your business needs — start with sales and stock, then bring in imports, finance, service, or fitment as the workflows are ready. Request a demo and we'll map your current processes first.
