Move volume without losing margin
Trading & Distribution ERP
Distribution lives on stock turns and credit discipline. ERPTotal manages landed costing, multi-warehouse inventory, tiered pricing, van sales and receivables in one place.

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.
