About WATTSHIP
The operating system for global vehicle trade.
WATTSHIP is the intelligence layer behind cross-border EV and Japanese vehicle imports — built for operators who treat every purchase as a financial instrument, not a used-car transaction.
What WATTSHIP does
- Auction Sheet Decipher — Japanese auction inspection reports translated and graded in plain language.
- SOH Insight — battery state-of-health analysis for EVs from auction and marketplace inventory.
- Landed Cost Calculator — full freight, duty, tax, compliance, and commission math before you bid.
- Container Packer — multi-vehicle and mixed-cargo loading optimization for 40ft High Cube containers.
- Auction access & agent bidding — decode the lot, set your ceiling, and bid through the platform.
- Marketplace + Deal Rooms — verified-listing storefront with structured 7-phase negotiation, escrow handoff, and shipping coordination.
- Country-aware compliance hub — import guides, kei-truck eligibility, 25-year rule calendars, and prefecture maps for destination markets.
Who WATTSHIP is for
- First-time importers — Free and Elite Pilot tiers: read an auction sheet, run landed cost, see what a vehicle actually costs to land.
- Solo dealers and JDM specialists — Fleet Commander adds full tool access, deeper container math, and the deal-room workflow.
- Logistics companies, dealer groups, and high-volume operations — Container Club (Trader / Operator / Enterprise) covers buyer discovery, neural pricing, and the full intelligence stack.
How WATTSHIP makes money
- Subscriptions — paid tiers from $4.99 to $799 per month, with annual options. See the pricing page.
- Marketplace commission — a percentage on Container Club deals closed through the platform.
- Advertising and affiliate links — third-party advertising and affiliate links may fund the Free tier. Paid-tier subscribers see no ads.
What WATTSHIP is not
- Not a financial adviser. All calculations are reference estimates. See the Disclaimer.
- Not a dispatch service. The Guardian Hub directory points to third-party towing and maintenance providers; we do not operate them.
FLUX
FLUX is the AI assistant embedded throughout the platform — built on Claude, trained on the WATTSHIP knowledge base, tuned to answer operator questions about auctions, landed cost, deal-room phases, and compliance. FLUX addresses every user as "Commander." It is helpful, not authoritative — see the Disclaimer for the limits of its output.
