Most importers track production in a spreadsheet, a chat thread and someone's memory. That is how a sample sits unapproved for three weeks and nobody notices until the ex-factory date has gone. ImportHQ tracks every purchase order against milestone columns you name yourself, so it fits how your product is really made. Late orders flag themselves, everything lands on a shared ex-factory calendar, and suppliers get a scorecard from your own order history. Free plan, no credit card.
