Stock and cost of goods sold

What each sale really cost, down to freight and duties.

Bookalyze follows your stock from the supplier's purchase order to the marketplace's warehouse: each delivery's landed cost with its share of freight, duty and prep, FIFO stock lots, and each month's cost of goods sold per marketplace, with Amazon's and Noon's returns and losses counted.

Start freeHow it works

From the supplier

Purchase orders to your suppliers, delivered in parts and paid in instalments.

  • Fill in a purchase order from an Alibaba.com receipt
  • Freight, duties, brokerage and prep added to each delivery's cost
  • Each delivery becomes stock lots, and sales use the oldest first

To the books

Each month's cost of goods sold posted per marketplace at FIFO cost.

  • Every marketplace SKU linked to a product, with 2-packs and bundles counted right
  • Amazon's FBA and Noon's FBN ledgers: returns back into stock, losses written off
  • What Amazon, Noon and Walmart hold, beside your own stock and your own count

Good to know

Do I have to count my stock?
Only once, for your opening stock. After that, deliveries, sales and the marketplaces' own ledgers keep it up to date, and you can compare it with a count any time.
