Total Cost to Serve software from Manhattan Associates allows you to see how costs are incurred and allocated by item for each supply chain location. Because you capture actual costs, you can make better sourcing, routing and fulfillment decisions. Total Cost to Serve also offers a unique predictive ability to estimate costs before purchase orders are approved. Cost data and visibility is available for anywhere goods aggregate—as well as for each item on a route or sourced from a supplier, including:
Inbound (landed costs)
Distribution center activity costs
Outbound shipping costs to your stores or forward distribution centers
Inventory carrying costs
