In this edition, we cover:



Product updates

Accurate cost tracking with supported GIT cost

We now support Goods in Transit (GIT) cost, enabling businesses to track the landed cost of inventory even before it reaches their warehouse. This feature ensures accurate cost calculation, better financial planning, and improved decision-making by considering expenses such as freight, insurance, and customs duties before stock is received. For instance, a multi-outlet pharmacy chain orders bulk medicines from a supplier overseas. With the Supported GIT Cost feature, they can factor in shipping and import costs in real time, ensuring precise pricing and margin control before the inventory arrives at their store.
