Go beyond the supplier invoice. StockCore helps you calculate your real product cost by including freight, customs duties, taxes, insurance and other charges — so you always know what your inventory truly costs.

Better Margin Visibility
Your landed cost is 33.3% higher than the supplier price ($15.00 → $20.00). Use landed cost when setting selling prices to protect your margins.
Common Challenges
It is easy to focus only on the supplier invoice, but international procurement comes with many additional costs that can quietly reduce your margins. These are some of the most common challenges importers and wholesalers face.
Supplier price is only part of the story. Freight, duties, taxes, insurance and other purchasing charges can significantly increase your true product cost.
Without those expenses included, product margins may look healthier than they actually are.
See real cost examplesInternational purchases may involve USD, EUR, CNY, AUD and other currencies across supplier invoices, freight bills and customs documentation.
Exchange-rate changes can make comparing suppliers and calculating real unit cost much harder.
Learn how to simplifyImport duty, customs charges, VAT or GST and other regulatory expenses can vary by country, product category and shipment.
Missing these charges can produce unexpected costs, delayed shipments and inaccurate inventory valuation.
Understand key chargesUnaccounted costs reduce margins and can lead to underpriced products, inaccurate profitability reports and poor purchasing decisions.
Knowing true landed cost gives your team a stronger basis for pricing products and protecting profitability.

Include costs beyond supplier price.
Better pricing decisions
Protect margins using real product cost.

Operational Workflow
Connect supplier and logistics costs, choose the right allocation method, and let StockCore calculate accurate landed costs across your inventory automatically.
Record supplier purchase orders and establish the base inventory cost before freight and other landed charges are applied.
Add freight, customs duties, insurance, terminal charges and other costs associated with bringing inventory into your warehouse.
Allocate charges based on value, weight, volume, quantity or another suitable allocation method for the purchase.
Apply reconciled landed costs to inventory valuation and keep FIFO costing and accounting information aligned.
Apply shared logistics expenses across hundreds of products without manually recalculating every SKU.
Keep FIFO valuation based on the complete cost of inventory rather than the supplier invoice alone.
Keep purchase costs, logistics expenses and final inventory valuation connected in one workflow.
Enterprise Operational Edge
Maintain precise inventory value across multiple warehouses, third-party logistics (3PL) depots, bonded storage facilities, and complex importing operations with greater confidence.
Protect your commercial margins against freight charges, port-related costs, customs duties, insurance and other purchasing expenses that can materially affect profitability.
By including true landed cost in product valuation, your team can make pricing decisions from the actual break-even point rather than supplier price alone.
Ensure landed cost allocations flow into FIFO inventory layers so remaining stock and cost of goods sold are based on more complete inventory costs.
Preserve clearer purchasing history, batch costing and valuation records across complex warehouse and importing workflows.
Handle supplier purchases across currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP, CNY and AUD while maintaining a consistent landed cost calculation.
Keep foreign purchase costs, freight invoices and related charges easier to compare across suppliers and international shipments.
Keep purchasing, freight and inventory costs closer to your accounting workflow instead of manually reconciling disconnected spreadsheets and records.
Reduce repeated data entry and create a cleaner connection between inventory valuation and financial reporting.
Better margin visibility
Price using real cost.
Accurate FIFO valuation
Keep cost layers aligned.
Multi-currency ready
Support global purchasing.
Cleaner reconciliation
Reduce manual accounting work.
The Hidden Financial Gap
Purchasing inventory at FOB pricing is only part of the equation. Without proper landed cost allocation, freight, duties and other importing costs can quietly reduce your margin without you realising it.
Common gaps that quietly cost you margin.
Freight, insurance and other logistics costs are often tracked outside the inventory system, so they never become part of the actual inventory cost.
Currency conversion, import duty, customs, GST and related charges can materially change the final landed cost of each unit.
If landed charges are not included in inventory cost, FIFO layers can be based on incomplete values — affecting COGS, valuation and margins.
Typical Margin Erosion
−5–15% on every import
A complete, real-world landed cost.
Bring supplier cost, freight, customs, duties, insurance, handling and related charges together into one accurate landed cost.
Apply currency conversion, freight, import duties and other charges so your per-unit cost reflects what it actually took to get stock on hand.
Push the final landed cost into inventory layers so COGS, stock valuation and gross margin are based on a more complete product cost.
Protected Gross Margin
+5–15% stronger cost visibility
When your inventory value reflects freight, duties, insurance and other real costs, your team can price products more confidently, understand actual margins and maintain more accurate FIFO valuation.
Profitability Advantage
From the warehouse floor to the boardroom, landed cost visibility gives your team the confidence to price smarter, buy better and make stronger commercial decisions.
Eliminate manual tracking and see the complete landed cost per unit — including supplier price, freight, duties, insurance, customs and handling.
As charges are added or updated, your cost picture stays much closer to the real amount invested in each product.
Make pricing and discount decisions using true landed cost rather than supplier price alone.
Better cost visibility helps prevent underpricing, protect commercial margins and improve confidence when negotiating with customers.
Connect purchase orders, supplier invoices, logistics charges and inventory valuation in one continuous landed-cost workflow.
Reduce spreadsheet dependency, minimise duplicate entry and maintain more consistent cost information between purchasing, inventory and finance.
Support international purchasing in USD, EUR, GBP, CNY, AUD and more while maintaining landed costs across warehouses, 3PL depots and other locations.
Keep imported inventory costs consistent across different currencies, shipments and storage locations.
Stronger margins
Price using true costs.
Accurate valuation
Keep inventory cost aligned.
Less manual work
Reduce spreadsheet handling.
Better decisions
Work from complete cost data.
