Trading & Distribution
Manage import purchases, multi-warehouse stock, and distribution sales with accurate landed costs and full shipment traceability.
Where things break down — and how we fix them
Common challenges
Inaccurate landed costs
Freight and customs duty tracked separately from item cost.
Multi-warehouse blind spots
No single view of stock across distribution centres.
Manual import documentation
Customs and shipping paperwork tracked outside the core system.
How ERPNext solves it
Landed cost allocation
Freight, duty, and clearing costs allocated automatically to item cost.
Centralised multi-warehouse stock
Real-time visibility across every distribution centre and branch.
Import-to-sale traceability
Full chain from purchase order through customs clearance to customer delivery.

“We finally know our real landed cost per SKU, not an approximation. It changed our margin conversations entirely.”
