Add freight and landed cost can change which price is best
What it does
It can hold your suppliers and their price lists, send a request to many of them at once, bring the answers back comparable, raise the purchase order, chase the acknowledgement and book the goods in, all beside your sales orders rather than in a separate system.
- Give your customers a price built on what you actually pay today and a date you can commit to, because the buying and the selling share one set of numbers.
- With Kabaido Stock on, receipts land in the ledger, on order quantities are visible and reorder points become actions.
