The Problem
Argentine importers managed their entire operation in spreadsheets — cost calculations with complex tax structures, supplier contacts, collaborator assignments, payment tracking. One Excel file per operation, shared over email, no single source of truth. Errors compounded, nothing was auditable.
The Solution
A web app that centralizes the full import operation lifecycle. Cost calculators that handle Argentine tax and duty structures, supplier management, collaborator assignments with role-based access, payment tracking, and PDF report generation for clients and customs.
Technical Decisions
The client's internal team was .NET-only with no JavaScript experience. Blazor let us build a full interactive web app without introducing a separate frontend stack, framework, or toolchain — one language, one team.
Importers need detailed cost reports to share with clients and for customs documentation. QuestPDF gives fully programmatic PDF generation in .NET — no Word templates, no manual formatting, no LibreOffice dependency.
Latest .NET for performance and long-term support. PostgreSQL for relational data — operations, suppliers, costs, and payments all have clear relationships that benefit from a proper schema and foreign keys.
Outcome
Delivered and in active production use. Replaced the client's Excel-based workflow entirely. Cost calculation and report generation went from hours of manual work to a few clicks.
