Mastering Your Inventory
If you don't know the answers to these questions, then you might be one of the many e-commerce managers operating in the blind because you don't have the information you need to make good decisions. Your options are 1) make a major investment in an enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system or 2) create your own inventory tracking system, typically as an excel spreadsheet. If you are big enough to afford a commercial ERP system, or technical enough to create your own advanced spreadsheet, then congratulations are in order. But if you are not at one of these extremes, then there may not be a viable option for you, until now.The Importance of Landed Cost
Most people determine their inventory value based on the price they paid to purchase or manufacture it. However, that is only part of the true Landed Cost. Other items that contribute to the landed cost can include import duties, brokerage fees, shipping costs, storage charges, repackaging expenses (for bulk ship items) and more. If you don’t have this information then you don’t really know the true cost of your products, and if you don’t know the true cost then your ability to set profitable and competitive selling prices is significantly compromised.Not only is Landed Cost important for you to determine your real valuation, it is also needed to comply with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and IRS guidelines. Landed Cost was one of the key drivers in the development of Sharper Track. By providing this capability, Sharper Track includes all of the inventory management capabilities needed by the mainstream e-commerce business manager.
