VictualNet Feature: Broken Case Up-charge for QuickBooks

 

Many food distributors will offer to sell product at less than case quantities as a value adding feature to smaller customers who may not be able to use an entire case of product.  This adds cost as the distributor must open a case, unpack product, repack for shipping and now has "loose" product in inventory.  To offset this cost distributors and processors will often add a broken case up-charge.  VictualNet allows distributors to add this automatically based on the quantity and unit of measure used for ordering.

 

With VictualNet you'll never miss an up-charge and leave money on the table again.
