The Industry Problem

Most ERPs Make Landed Cost Painful

Importing products means dealing with freight, customs duties, broker fees, insurance, and handling charges. Most ERP systems either ignore these costs or bury them in complex configurations that nobody uses.

  • Costs tracked separately from inventory
  • Manual spreadsheets to calculate true margins
  • Inventory valued at purchase price, not real cost
  • Hidden complexity that teams avoid using

The Hard Truth

If your landed cost feature is too complex to use daily, you don't actually have landed cost. You have a checkbox on a feature list. P4 Books was built differently.
