Landed costs are those sometimes hidden costs that are involved when you make goods available for sale. Typical landed costs might include freight, handling fees, duty, brokerage, insurance, storage, wharfage and other charges that, if you ignore them, will distort the cost of the product being sold.
Blue Link’s landed cost tracking system allows you to account for all costs associated with getting inventory to your warehouse — your true inventory costs.
Commonly used for businesses that import and export product, landed cost tracking also accounts for the costs and charges associated with moving inventory from multiple warehouse and shipping locations within the same country.

This is especially true for importers and exporters. Blue Link provides robust landed cost tracking functionality available to all customers.
