The problem

What usually goes wrong in trading & distribution operations

  • Landed cost of imports is estimated, so true margin is unknown
  • Slow-moving and expiring stock is spotted too late
  • Credit limits are enforced inconsistently across salespeople
  • Van sales reconciliation takes a full day each week

Questions

Trading & Distribution ERP — FAQs

How is landed cost calculated?
Freight, duty, insurance and clearing charges are apportioned across the consignment by value, weight or volume, updating item cost before the stock is sold.
Does ERPTotal support van sales and mobile order taking?
Yes. Salespeople load stock to a van, invoice on route from a mobile device, and settle cash and stock at day end.
Can we manage batch expiry for perishable goods?
Batches carry expiry dates with FEFO picking, expiry ageing reports and configurable alerts before stock becomes unsellable.
