ODeX India Solutions

What ODeX India Solutions does

ODeX India Solutions, operated by EA Technologies, is an online document exchange platform purpose-built for the shipping and EXIM (export-import) trade community. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Mumbai, the company operates web-based, country-specific portals that connect shipping lines, freight forwarders, custom house agents, exporters, importers, banks, port terminals, container freight stations (CFS's), and weighbridges through a single transaction-processing workflow. The platform digitizes shipping documentation, invoice management, and payment flows that were previously paper-based, with customer-reported reductions in processing time from 2-3 days to under an hour.

The product portfolio spans six modules: ODeX MPCI Filing (UAE regulatory compliance, certified by UAE authorities and connected to NAIC), ODeX Export and ODeX Import (separate processing workflows for each trade direction), ODeX Pay Later (a credit facility for import invoices powered by DBS Bank), ODeX Weighbridge Integration (VGM data capture under SOLAS regulations), and ODeX Integrations (a framework connecting banks, ERPs, and other external systems to eliminate duplicate data entry). The platform holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011, and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certifications, and is self-positioned as the first online document exchange platform in the shipping industry.

Commercially, ODeX generates revenue through transaction-based fees on the documents and payments it processes across the platform. It operates under an API-first, self-service go-to-market model with online registration and country-specific portals serving 25+ countries across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and North America. The company is privately held, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition history.
