Landed cost vs. price
The Predictive Engine compares each product's landed cost with the price it sells at.
Margin Erosion
Same price. Higher cost. The margin is disappearing and nobody changed a thing.
Supplier prices, duties and freight creep up one receipt at a time. The selling price stays where it was set a year ago, and every sale earns a little less — until a product sells at almost no profit. Otiox's Predictive Engine compares landed cost with price, warns you when the margin falls below target and tells you the price that restores it.

Repriced. Margin back above target; the forecast closes on the next scan.
01El Desafío
Nobody decided to sell at a five percent margin. It just happened.
The product was priced when it cost a lot less. Since then the supplier raised prices, a duty was added and freight went up. Each change was small; the price never moved. Now every unit sells at a margin nobody would have approved — and the monthly report only shows it as a slightly worse total.
- 01Costs rise in small steps nobody connects to the price
- 02Landed cost — duty and freight — isn't in the margin people look at
- 03Margin problems show up as a vague, company-wide decline
- 04By the time someone notices, months of sales went at thin margin

Preguntas Frecuentes
Respuestas rápidas a preguntas comunes.
01What cost does Otiox compare with the price?
The landed cost — purchase price plus duty and other costs added on receipt — against the product's selling price.
02Does Otiox change prices automatically?
No. The forecast recommends the price; you change it on the product. Pricing is a decision, not an automation.
03What if I can't raise the price?
The forecast also gives the supplier cost that would restore the margin, so you know what to negotiate.
04When does the warning go away?
On the next prediction scan after the price or cost changes enough to bring the margin back to target.
