Cost Calculation

Procurement, freight, tax & FX costed item by item — know your margin before you quote

Aggregate landed cost automatically from procurement, freight, duty, FX and commission, then back-calculate a suggested quote simply by setting a target margin. Multi-currency, multi-tax costing quantifies exchange-rate risk up front, so the profit headroom is clear before the quote is even sent — no more Excel guesswork or fuzzy margins.

Core Capabilities

Complete coverage of costing, from item aggregation to margin back-calc

Item-by-item cost aggregation

Capture procurement, freight, duty, FX and commission item by item; landed cost is summed automatically so the cost structure is crystal clear.

Target-margin back-calc

Set a target gross margin and the system back-calculates a suggested quote from the landed cost, so profit headroom is obvious before you quote.

Multi-currency, multi-tax costing

Built-in live FX converts foreign-currency costs to your base currency, with multi-tax costing item by item — run domestic and export costing in one system.

FX risk quantification

Foreign-currency purchasing and freight are converted at live rates and flagged by risk level, so rate swings on cost and margin are quantified up front.

Visual cost breakdown

Each item's share, amount and the break-even point are charted visually, so the cost structure and profit headroom guide your negotiation.

One-click costing-to-quote

The suggested quote and cost detail carry over into quote generation in one click, with no re-keying — data stays connected from costing to quotation.

Use Cases

Flexibly adapts to different costing scenarios

01
Export landed cost

Aggregate procurement, ocean freight, duty, commission and FX loss item by item — FOB/CIF landed cost is computed in one pass, margin visible before you quote.

02
Back-calc quote from target margin

When the customer names a target price or the company sets a margin, back-calculate the suggested quote and break-even from landed cost — your price floor is clear.

03
Multi-currency FX swings

Foreign-currency purchasing and freight are converted at live rates and FX risk is quantified up front, so FX loss doesn't eat into profit after the quote is sent.

FAQ

Questions you may have

Which cost items can cost calculation cover?

It aggregates procurement cost, ocean freight, duty, FX loss, commission and more item by item, automatically summing the landed cost. Multi-currency and multi-tax costing is supported, with each item's amount and share shown clearly so the cost structure is visible before you quote.

Can I back-calculate the quote from a target margin?

Yes. Once you set a target gross margin, the system back-calculates a suggested quote from the landed cost and shows the profit headroom and break-even point in real time, so margin is clear before the quote is even sent.

How is exchange-rate risk handled for foreign-currency purchasing?

Built-in live exchange rates convert foreign-currency purchases and freight into your base currency and flag the FX risk level. The impact of rate swings on cost and margin is quantified during costing, so FX loss does not eat into profit after the quote goes out.

Can the costing result feed directly into the quotation?

Yes. The suggested quote and cost breakdown from costing carry over into quote generation in one click, with no re-keying, keeping data connected and traceable from costing to quotation.
