Issues Solved "Integrated Logistics Costs" Not Appearing on Financial Statements Logistics costs in import procurement companies are generally recognized as "transportation and storage costs," but behind them lies a massive cost that does not appear on financial statements.

▶ The overlooked 38% (6.3% of sales ratio) cost is squeezing corporate profits. Faced with the complexities specific to import procurement—such as lead times exceeding 60 days, demand fluctuations, and dispersed bases—conventional ERP and WMS could "record" data but were unable to "optimize decision-making."
