Bring trade information and product data into your purchasing decisions.
Trade agreements, supplier information and stock data rarely sit in the same place. Cytria helps scope a workflow that brings the relevant sources together and prepares scenarios for your purchasing, operations and finance teams to review.
No confidential data required for the first conversation.
Three concrete workflows designed for your sector
Each workflow builds on your existing tools and methods to prepare outputs your team directly verifies.
Clarify applicable trade rules and tariffs for an import corridor
Checking tariffs, origin rules and free-trade agreements applicable to a tariff heading requires time-consuming research across trade databases. Together, we identify your product lines and main supply corridors. The workflow could gather effective official provisions and draft a requirements brief; your customs specialist confirms the tariff classification and certificates of origin.
Assess tariff and transport cost impacts on purchasing margins
When tariffs or trade provisions change, businesses need to evaluate the impact on upcoming shipments and operating margins quickly. We define the purchasing data and freight assumptions to include in the model. The workflow could combine purchase orders, applicable duties and volume forecasts into a structured comparison; purchasing leaders evaluate the results and guide negotiations.
Compare procurement scenarios across alternative suppliers
Comparing supplier bids requires factoring in unit prices, freight, customs duties, currency rates and lead times into a balanced view. Together, we establish a standardized assessment framework. The workflow could compile received quotations into a sourced comparison sheet; the buyer verifies the underlying assumptions and selects the appropriate supplier.
How your team stays in control
For each selected workflow, we define together the permitted sources, access boundaries and human review checkpoint. No final decision or external communication happens without explicit sign-off from your team.

Start with your current tools
Start from your ERP, inventory data and purchasing templates. An initial test can use controlled exports before broader system connectivity. Agreements and official sources are referenced by specific corridor and date; referencing a treaty does not establish product eligibility.
How we could proceed
We first agree what needs to change and what is already known. We test a workflow when that will help us decide; if the scope is already clear, we can propose delivery directly.
Scope the work
Review the task, existing tools, available information and the decision to make next.
See the starting options →Test if needed
Try one agreed workflow, review the results with your team and decide whether to continue, adjust or stop.
See the focused test →Put it into use
If the scope or test supports it, agree the production work, responsibilities and support before implementation.
See deployment →Discuss a concrete workflow for your organisation
Describe one recurring purchasing decision or trade research task. We define the required information, useful output and evaluation metric.
We define the information the workflow may use, who can access it and which actions need review. Hosting, external services and handover conditions are specified for the selected deployment. The first conversation does not require confidential client, employee or beneficiary files.
