KRUXVON Ltd · By invitation

KRUX

East Africa's trade standard.
The record every importer, agent, regulator, and bank can point at.

9 regulators · One identity · Permanent

Five founding positions · By invitation

§ 01 The hook

Every Kenya import has a regulatory window.

It closes before your goods leave origin.

Most operators only learn this from the demurrage invoice.

§ 02 The identity

One number.
For your entire trade life.

KRUX issues a permanent trade identity to every importer, agent, and manufacturer. Every clearance writes to it. Banks reference it. Regulators recognize it. Counterparties trust it.

§ 04 Open the terminal

Check your
window. Now.

No account. No email. Pick a regulator, pick an ETA. KRUX calculates the window against today's date and tells you whether to ship or escalate.

This is the same engine that runs every shipment in the workspace.

§ 05 Who operates

Three operator types.
One network.

Importers, clearing agents, and manufacturers — each with a KTIN, each writing to the same record. The standard works because the network is shared.

KRUX-IMP-KE-NNNNN
Importers

Know your window before goods leave origin. Your KTIN follows your compliance record permanently. Your tier travels to every bank you work with.

KRUX-AGT-KE-NNNNN
Clearing Agents

Every client's shipments from one terminal. Issue client KTINs same-day. Compliance intelligence becomes a service you bill for.

KRUX-MFG-KE-NNNNN
Manufacturers

Import raw materials with full regulatory intelligence. Supplier licenses tracked, audit schedules surfaced, no end-of-month surprises.

Without KRUX
Finding out about a missed deadline from the demurrage invoice.
Manually chasing 9 regulators across every shipment.
No idea PPB needs 52 days until the goods are already at sea.
Half a day calculating landed cost in a spreadsheet.
Your audit trail is a WhatsApp group and an inbox.
With KRUX
Impossible windows flagged before goods leave origin.
All 9 regulators tracked. Auto-prioritized by urgency.
Landed cost in KES and USD the moment you add a shipment.
A hit list at 06:00 with exactly what to act on before 9am.
Complete timestamped audit trail. Searchable. Permanent.

§ 06 Founding cohort

§ 07 Principle

What we point at.

01.
A standard is what every party in a trade agrees to point at. We are building the one for East Africa.
02.
Your record belongs to you. Aggregates we share are anonymised. You cannot be identified from any output.
03.
Tiers are earned, not bought. The number cannot be gamed.
04.
No quarterly newsletter, no advisory board photo wall, no "platform". The standard is the product.
05.
If the standard described here is one your team would point at, write back. The cohort closes itself.

§ 08 Sign-off

The brief above is not a sales document. It is the position before any conversation about integration, pricing, or contractual specifics. If the contents align, write back.
