Vehicle export operations · Japan → Worldwide

Every vehicle. Every document. Every update.
One platform.

As your volumes grow, so do the questions — where is my car, when does it arrive, can you resend that document. AUTOPORT gives every buyer their own answer, automatically.

See what your buyers see.
Start with one shipment Works with your existing website Your buyers get their own login
Live vessel tracking

Vessel positions and ETAs, updated on their own.

Positions and arrival dates come straight from shipping line data and refresh by themselves. Nobody has to open a carrier site, copy a date, and forward it to a buyer.

Questions like “where is my car” drop sharply, because the buyer can look for themselves at any hour.

  • Positions and ETAs refresh automatically as the vessel moves.
  • When an ETA changes, the buyer sees the new date at the same moment you do.
  • Arrival dates are accurate enough for a buyer to arrange clearance in advance.
The buyer portal

What your buyers get.

Each buyer gets their own login. They see their vehicles, their documents, their payment balance — only theirs, nothing else, nobody else’s. Available at any hour, in any time zone, without waiting for Japanese office hours.

01Their vehicles

Their vehicles, and only theirs.

Every buyer sees the vehicles they bought and their current stage, from purchase to arrival. No other buyer’s information is ever visible to them.

02Their documents

Documents, the moment you upload them.

B/L, invoices, inspection certificates — the buyer downloads them the moment you upload. You stop resending the same file across time zones.

03Their balance

A balance they can check themselves.

Payments received and the balance outstanding, shown to the buyer as you record them. Fewer back-and-forth messages about money.

Buyers who have worked with several Japanese exporters notice the difference immediately. Only your buyers can use it, and it reaches them from you.

One place for the operation

Vehicles, documents, and payments in one system.

Vehicles, documents, statuses, and payment ledgers live in one system any staff member can open. No single person has to hold the whole picture in their head — so the way you work today still works at twice the volume.

01Vehicles

Every vehicle, at a glance.

Status, container assignment, document state, and payment status for every vehicle on one screen — without opening three files.

02Documents

Filed by vehicle, found by anyone.

Bills of lading, invoices, inspection certificates, photos — uploaded once, filed against the vehicle, in the same place for every member of staff.

03Payments

One ledger per buyer.

Payments received and balances outstanding, recorded per buyer. Reconciling what has been paid against what has shipped takes minutes.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing else changes.

1

Add your vehicles.

Buyer, chassis number, destination. One at a time, or in bulk.

2

Update status as it happens.

Each stage from purchase to arrival, with documents and notes attached as you go.

3

Updates reach your buyers automatically.

What you update appears on that buyer’s screen. No message to write, no file to forward.

Case study

From separate Excel files to one screen.

At a used vehicle exporter in Kobe, vehicle records and documents were held in separate Excel files, kept by different departments. Answering a single buyer question meant finding the staff member who held that file and waiting until they were free.

Buyers now log in on their own and follow their own purchases. Enquiries asking for an arrival date or a document to be sent again have stopped.

Staff learned the platform once and now run it themselves, without support.

The platform has really changed our administrative burden and streamlined our communications — not just externally, but internally as well.

Before you start

Two things worth knowing.

Your data is yours.

Strict architectural separation means no other exporter can access your information. We are contractually bound never to use your data for any purpose beyond operating the platform on your behalf.

Start small.

Try AUTOPORT with a single vehicle and a single buyer. No migration, no customer list required — everything else in your operation stays exactly as it is.

We are waiving the fee for our first customers.

At this stage, proving the platform matters more to us than charging for it. We would rather have it running in a real operation, with real vehicles and real buyers, than collect a monthly fee.

When the fee begins, you will hear it from us first, and in plain terms.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is AUTOPORT?

AUTOPORT is management software for Japanese used-car exporters. It brings live vessel tracking, document management, a buyer portal, and per-buyer payment ledgers into one screen.

Who is AUTOPORT for?

Exporters shipping used vehicles out of Japan, and the buyers who purchase from them. Each exporter gets a management dashboard; each buyer gets their own portal login.

How much does AUTOPORT cost?

¥15,000 per month per exporter account — one price for unlimited vehicles, buyers, documents, and staff accounts, with no per-vehicle fees. The fee is currently waived for our first customers.

Can I try AUTOPORT with just one shipment?

Yes. Register a single vehicle and give one buyer a login — we set the account up and walk through it with you before you commit to more.

Do my buyers get their own login?

Yes. Every buyer gets their own portal to track their vehicle, view documents, and see their balance — included in the price, with no per-buyer charge.

Does AUTOPORT replace my existing website?

No. AUTOPORT works alongside the website you already have — it doesn't require you to rebuild or replace it.
