Migrate your VISCO data
Global Trade ERP built for import/export and distribution businesses, specializing in landed cost calculation, lot tracking, and import compliance with an integrated CRM module.
In its favor
Why people choose VISCO
The signal that keeps VISCO on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
VISCO's landed cost calculation engine allocates freight, duties, insurance, and brokerage fees across product lines in real time, which import-focused teams cite as the primary reason they select the platform over generic ERPs.
Lot tracking and import compliance features give food, chemical, and consumer goods companies the serialised audit trail required by FDA, USDA, and Customs authorities across multiple jurisdictions.
The integrated CRM module lets customer inquiry and follow-up sit within the same system as logistics and costing, reducing context-switching for small trading teams.
Automatic container tracking and document alerts reduce the manual follow-up required on long-lead international shipments, particularly for companies managing multiple forwarders simultaneously.
QuickBooks integration handles the accounting side while VISCO handles the global trade complexity, giving operations teams a clean handoff without full ERP replacement.
The user interface lacks organization and requires too many clicks for common tasks, driving dissatisfaction even among users who rely on VISCO daily for core operations.
No publicly documented API makes third-party integrations and automated data exports difficult, pushing technically ambitious teams toward platforms with open developer ecosystems.
Users report that reporting and analytics capabilities lag behind newer cloud-native ERPs, making it harder to surface landed cost trends without manual Excel exports.

What gets migrated
VISCO object support
Object-by-object support for VISCO migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Products/Items
Fully supportedVISCO products carry landed cost allocation fields, unit-of-measure conversions, and product identification metadata. Standard fields map cleanly to any destination ERP Items or Products object.
Customers
Mapping requiredCustomer records in VISCO include company details and QuickBooks-linked fields. We map these to destination Customers or Accounts, preserving any QB-linked identifiers as custom properties for downstream reconciliation.
Contacts
Mapping requiredThe CRM module stores contact details and inquiry assignments. Contacts are tied to the customer inquiry workflow, so migration requires mapping Contact records to the destination CRM's contact object while preserving assignment and follow-up history.
Land Costs
Mapping requiredLand Costs is a structured object holding per-shipment cost allocations across freight, duty, insurance, and brokerage categories. Destination systems vary in how they store these, so we map each cost line item individually and reconstruct the landed cost total in the target.
Shipments
Fully supportedVISCO shipments track containers, ports, carriers, and dates from origin through destination. The shipment object and its container sub-records export via database access. We preserve shipment status, carrier details, and all container-level data in the target system.
Inventory Lots
Fully supportedVISCO tracks inventory by lot number with warehouse location assignments. Lot records include expiration, source shipment reference, and quantity on hand. We map lot records to the destination inventory lot or serial number object, preserving traceability links.
Sales Orders
Mapping requiredOpen and historical sales orders carry customer references, line items, pricing, and landed cost allocations. We export orders in status-based batches and reconstruct the full line item structure in the destination system.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredPurchase orders reference suppliers, products, quantities, and expected landed costs. Order-to-receipt relationships require mapping to the destination PO and receiving workflow, particularly for partially received orders.
Documents
Mapping requiredVISCO generates and stores import/export documents including bills of lading, commercial invoices, certificates of origin, and customs forms. Document files and metadata are exported separately and associated back to the relevant shipment or transaction record.
