Quick Answers and FAQs
Pricing scales with the scope you activate — start with core costing, layer in more workflows as needed. You pay for platform capability and usage, not seats. Implementation and ongoing support are built in.
Tailor provides the building blocks: item cost layers, adjustments, landed cost allocation, and event-driven updates. You assemble standard, average, actual, or hybrid methods and variance tracking the way your finance model works — nothing is locked in.
Native and API-driven connections cover commerce (Shopify, Amazon), inventory and fulfillment (ShipStation), finance/accounting (QuickBooks, NetSuite sync), procurement, and data/BI (Snowflake or your lake). Cost and inventory events post in near real time through an event layer — no end‑of‑day batch catch‑up.
Yes, smaller teams can start with a simple cost roll‑up; larger or multi‑channel operators can model complex landed and allocation logic. You scale precision and automation only when the ROI is clear.
Rules, allocation formulas, cost layer handling, approval steps, and mapping logic are all configurable. Deeper logic can live in events, pipelines, or state machines without a rebuild.
Data access is enforced with role and record-level controls, environment separation (dev/stage/prod), and audit trails on every cost adjustment. APIs use encrypted transport; sensitive data is encrypted at rest. Designed to align with modern compliance standards (e.g., SOC 2) and built for resilient, event-driven recovery — human verification can be added where accuracy is critical.
Keep existing finance, inventory, or analytics tools — Tailor slots in as the connective layer. You retire legacy pieces only when the new flow proves better.
