Advanced Landed Cost

Improve profitability by accurately accounting for landed costs

Have you ever been shocked by lower than anticipated margins on imported goods? Do you find it challenging and time-consuming to calculate all costs with landing goods in your inventory? Would you like to know what landed costs you can expect when placing a purchase order?

Predict your landed cost before placing orders and be more profitable

When importing goods, the cost of freight, customs, tariffs, insurance, and duty on inventory procured overseas can be significant. Traditionally, accurately calculating and allocating these costs can be complex, time-consuming, and error-prone.

Errors and complexity arise when managing large procurement volumes. Calculating and assigning receipts to cost lines is challenging and often results in the wrong selection and allocation. Manually calculating landed costs like this is very time-consuming too.

Additionally, the risk of lower than anticipated margins increases when inventory turnover is high, and all the after-the-fact procurement costs are unconfirmed prior to sale.

Better predict your expected landed product costs at the time you place the purchase order and improve profitability today.
