How to Understand Your True Cost of Goods & Reporting for the Wine & Spirits Industry
Thursday, May 14th, at 11 am PT

Every bottle you sell carries costs that many ERP systems never capture, or never allocate accurately at the item level. Ocean freight, drayage, customs duties, federal excise taxes, warehouse handling, and insurance often show up weeks after product hits the warehouse. By then, margin reporting is already wrong, pricing decisions are already made, and cash planning is guesswork.
Thursday, May 14th, at 11 am PT, Western Computer’s wine & spirits experts will break down where the “hidden” costs actually live in the three-tier world and how 365WineTrade (built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central) brings those costs into focus before invoices arrive, with accrual-based, item-level landed cost visibility and reporting built for wine & spirits suppliers and distributors.
