AI Pricing
From contract volumes to spot orders, Sterling's Pricing Agent combines supplier cost, freight, quantity, currency and other charges into one landed cost, then shows the selling price and margin. When costs move, ask it to recalculate, so you can reprice before the change eats into profit.
Landed Cost & Margin
| Input or output | Initial calculation | Updated freight |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | 1,000 kg | 1,000 kg |
| Supplier cost | £2.00/kg | £2.00/kg |
| Freight | £300.00 | £400.00 |
| Other charges | £100.00 | £100.00 |
| Total landed cost | £2,400.00 | £2,500.00 |
| Landed cost per kg | £2.40/kg | £2.50/kg |
| Selling price | £3.00/kg | £3.00/kg |
| Gross margin | 20.0% | 16.7% |
