How to choose a TradeWindow Prodoc alternative
- 1
Check what drives the bill
Check whether your bill grows with users, modules, connections or custom forms. TradeWindow Prodoc is quoted privately by user and module, and Hybrid Data Connect and custom or manual forms cost extra. Ask how each part of your current bill changes as your export desk grows.
- 2
Keep control of your records
Your consignees, products and shipment history are business records. Ask what you can take with you, in what form, and whether you can keep a usable archive after leaving. An alternative can put those records in a database you own, rather than leaving them only in a vendor's structure.
- 3
Fit your fields and rules
List the customer layouts, document sets by market, product details, origin evidence and letter of credit information your team relies on. Check whether the alternative can reflect your fields and rules, including the extra documents each customer requests, rather than forcing every shipment into one standard process.
- 4
Plan the move before switching
Ask how your consignee and product lists, shipment records and document history will come across. TradeWindow does not publish an export format, so transfer may involve spreadsheets from Prodoc or the business system feeding it, or an extract from TradeWindow support. Plan a test and compare shipments before switching.

Questions
TradeWindow Prodoc alternatives, answered
Can an alternative still send documents to customs, carriers or a bank? expand_more
The free version records entry numbers, bills of lading and which documents went where, but it does not lodge or transmit anything. Most exporters already have a broker or forwarder lodging entries, and they keep doing so. Enterprise DNA can build direct links into your version if you want them.
What would moving my records out of Prodoc involve? expand_more
TradeWindow does not publish an export format. The usual route is to save consignee and product lists as spreadsheets from Prodoc or the business system that feeds it, or request an extract from TradeWindow support. Enterprise DNA can map the columns and test the transfer.
Will an alternative choose tariff codes or confirm origin eligibility? expand_more
No. Classification and origin are your call or your broker's. The system holds the code and evidence you record, checks each claim against them on the day the goods ship, and flags when evidence has run out. It will not invent either.
How can I switch without disrupting shipments? expand_more
If you are part way through a Prodoc contract, run both systems for a month of shipments. Compare the documents needed, issued and sent for every sailing. When they match, you can stop entering shipments into Prodoc. Keep its archive or an extract for as long as your shipment records need to be kept.
