What it costs you today
- 01
The landed cost of a shipment is known weeks after it is sold.
Freight, duty, insurance and clearance arrive on separate invoices after the goods. Until they are allocated, every margin figure on those goods is a placeholder that nobody goes back to correct.
- 02
Which products are registered in which market lives in a spreadsheet held by the regulatory person.
An order shipped into a market where the registration lapsed is not a commercial error, it is a compliance event. And the renewal calendar depends on one person remembering.
- 03
Lot and expiry are recorded but not enforced.
Short-dated stock ships to the customer who will complain, and stock that should have moved first sits behind stock that arrived later. Both are write-offs waiting.
What the system does about it
Landed cost allocated back to the goods
Freight, duty, insurance and clearance allocated across the shipment when the invoices arrive, so the cost of the item is the cost of getting it here, and margin corrects itself instead of staying wrong.
Registration status on the product, per market
Which markets an item may be sold into, the registration reference, the expiry of that registration, and the renewal warning ahead of it — attached to the product so the order is stopped rather than the compliance team being consulted.
Lot, expiry and FEFO enforced
Expiry carried on the lot, first-expiry-first-out on picking, and minimum remaining shelf life per customer where their contract requires it.
Traceability in both directions
From a manufacturing batch to every customer that received it, and from a complaint back to the batch and its raw materials, as a query rather than an investigation.
