Landed cost

True landed cost, even when the freight bill arrives after close

Tracking a container across ocean, port, rail, and warehouse is usually a spreadsheet. Cairn models the whole journey as one inbound asset and self-corrects SKU margins when the final bills land, without reopening the period.

The legacy gap

Tracking maritime containers across multiple legs is manual. When delayed freight, customs, or drayage invoices land weeks after a period closes, applying the cost retroactively means painful period-reopening acrobatics.

What Cairn does

Cairn tracks multi-vendor purchase orders inside a unified inbound-container asset, estimates landed cost in transit, and retroactively corrects SKU-level cost layers when the final bills arrive.

The payoff

Immediate, true gross-margin visibility while goods are still on the water, with no manual freight allocation and no reopening a closed period to true up.

Multi-leg container tracking

Ocean, port, rail, and drayage modeled as legs of one inbound asset across multiple vendor POs.

Estimated cost in transit

Landed cost is estimated during transit so margins are right before the goods arrive.

Self-correcting layers

When final freight and customs bills land, cost layers and SKU margins true up automatically.

No period reopen

Retroactive corrections post as adjustments, so a closed period stays closed.
