Q&A from the live webinar
Q1: A huge shortfall in many of these apps in incorporating manufacturing labour into the value of finished goods in the balance sheet. Makes for hugely inaccurate inventory valuation and COGS timing.
A1: Amber Chaffe: Definitely agree with this - it's something a lot of customers come to Unleashed for because they can't accurately calculate how much something is costing to make. This could be manufacturing costs, 3PL costs - loads of different factors!
Q2: What are 3PL costs?
A2: Amber Chaffe: Third-party logistic costs - so if other parties are holding your stock or providing manufacturing for you.
