Accounting Software for Malaysian Trading Companies

Trading companies in Malaysia—importing goods from China, distributing to domestic retailers, exporting to Singapore or Thailand—deal with multi-currency transactions, import duties, varying supplier credit terms, and the full complexity of Malaysian tax compliance. ZeroPilot AI is cloud accounting for Malaysian SMEs software that handles the complete trading company financial workflow, from purchase order in CNY to LHDN e-invoice in MYR.

Multi-Currency Trading — Built In

Malaysian trading companies routinely transact in USD (commodities, raw materials), CNY (Chinese imports), SGD (Singapore trade), EUR (European goods), and THB (Thailand transactions). ZeroPilot AI records every foreign currency transaction at the Bank Negara mid-rate, calculates realised FX gains and losses on payment, and performs period-end revaluation of open foreign-currency positions—maintaining accurate Ringgit-equivalent values at all times.

Landed Cost Calculation for Imported Goods

The true cost of imported goods is not just the supplier invoice price. ZeroPilot AI's landed cost module accumulates all costs associated with importing a shipment:

• Supplier invoice value (in foreign currency, converted at transaction rate)
• Import duty and excise duty paid to customs
• SST on imports (where applicable)
• Freight and insurance charges
• Customs clearance and forwarding agent fees
• Port handling and container demurrage

The total landed cost is allocated to the imported inventory, ensuring your COGS reflects the true economic cost and your gross margin calculations are accurate.

Purchase Order and Inventory Workflow

Raise purchase orders in the supplier's currency. When goods arrive, record a goods received note—inventory increases and the purchase is accrued. When the supplier invoice arrives, three-way match (PO, GRN, invoice) confirms quantities and prices. Discrepancies are flagged before payment, not discovered after.

Accounts Receivable Management for Domestic Distribution

Trading companies typically sell to multiple retail customers on 30 to 60-day credit terms. ZeroPilot AI tracks every outstanding invoice by customer and due date, sends automated payment reminders, and produces an accounts receivable ageing report that shows exactly how much is overdue and for how long. Cash flow forecasting updates automatically as payments are received or overdue invoices age.

LHDN e-Invoice for Domestic Sales

Every domestic customer invoice raised in ZeroPilot AI is submitted to LHDN's MyInvois portal automatically—keeping your business compliant with the e-invoice mandate as it applies to trading companies selling within Malaysia.

Bank Loan Documentation — Ready in Minutes

Malaysian banks require accurate P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statements, and AR/AP ageing for SME loan applications. ZeroPilot AI produces all of these in auditor-ready formats at any time—no waiting for month-end close or accountant preparation. View pricing options.
