Blue Link’s landed cost tracking system allows you to account for all costs associated with getting inventory to your warehouse — your true inventory costs.
Track as many landed costs as you require — there is no practical limit. Common landed costs include: duty, brokerage, freight, insurance, storage, wharfage and many more.
