The Secret to True Unit Economics: Landed Costs
A lot of founders calculate their profit margins using a dangerously basic formula: Selling Price minus Factory Cost. But if you're only looking at the raw manufacturing price of an item, your financial statements are lying to you. To know if you’re actually making money, you have to track your true Landed Cost.
Landed cost takes into account every single penny it takes to get a product to your warehouse door—including international freight fees, customs duties, import taxes, local drayage, and warehouse receiving costs. If global shipping rates spike and you aren't tracking these variables dynamically, your net margins can vanish overnight. Secure your cash flow by shifting to clean, automated backend tracking. You can build a high-visibility framework to monitor your data seamlessly over at The Inventory Master website.
