Landed cost tracking and the tracking of true landed costs is crucial to today's manufacturers, distributors, importers and retailers . Landed costs are essentially the total expenses incurred to purchase, transport, and import goods from one place to another, within a country or across continents, including border fees, duties, taxes, transport costs, insurance, trans-loading, and port handling fees. These are sometimes hidden costs that are involved in making goods available for sale, which, if ignored would distort the cost of the product being sold.

Automate Landed Costs
“Our old system, before Blue Link, used to calculate landed costs for an entire shipment. We would then have to go into each individual item and apply landed costs manually. With Blue Link, it’s nice to have those costs allocated to all items on the order automatically. Another great feature is the ability to calculate landed costs even before receiving items when creating a PO.”
