Every unit carries its landed cost. Margin is true at the SKU.
Freight, duty, and broker fees arrive weeks after the container does. Aleq capitalizes them into unit cost as they post, so COGS on the next shipment is right the first time and margin at the SKU never waits for a physical count.
On-hand value, COGS, and the GL disagree by month-end.
Freight and duty land weeks late, standard costs drift from actuals, and returns re-add inventory nobody revalues.
“Inventory lives in the 3PL, freight and duty hit on supplier invoices weeks later, and standard cost drifts from actuals. The margin we report is a quarter-end estimate.”

A container lands. The cost rolls into the unit.
Freight and duty arrive weeks after the goods, so standard cost drifts and margin becomes a guess. Aleq captures landed cost from the customs invoice and rolls it into the unit before the first sale.
Fulfillment relieves inventory and books COGS in the same transaction — FIFO layers consumed, margin true to the unit.
The books for hardware & physical goods, run for you.
Aleq is the system of record and the controller that runs it. The work runs inside your policy and against your approval thresholds, and every entry it posts is signed, sourced, and reversible.
ASC 330 inventory valuation. Aleq maintains a perpetual inventory subledger — raw, WIP, and finished goods — valued at standard or weighted-average, with lower-of-cost-or-NRV write-downs posted automatically.
From the customs invoice to gross margin at the SKU.
Landed cost rolled into the unit
Freight, duty, insurance, and broker fees are captured from supplier and customs invoices and capitalized into unit cost — so COGS reflects true landed cost, not just the PO.
COGS relieved on every shipment
Each fulfillment relieves inventory and recognizes COGS in the same entry, matched to the revenue it earned. Returns reverse the entry and re-value the restocked unit.
Standard costing with variances
Purchase-price and usage variances against standard are isolated, posted, and reported, so you see where the model and the warehouse diverge.
Gross margin at the SKU
Revenue, landed COGS, and returns roll up to gross margin by SKU, channel, and period — derived from the ledger, current to the last shipment.
Everything downstream of the container.
The PO that ordered it, the bank line that paid for it, the lease on the warehouse it sits in, and the month all three close into.
It speaks your accounting natively.
The standards and subledgers your model runs on — derived and posted by Aleq, not configured by you.
