VirtueMart is a great shopping system...
Unfortunately, it only deals with the shopping part of managing an eCommerce web store.

Sure, it keeps track of stock quantites but doesn't allow you to encore gross prices.
Without this information, it's hard to compute a gross price stock value and profitability.

One of our VirtueMart GSE modules allows the encoding of manufacturer orders along with gross prices and bought quantities.
By performing this extra step, the encoded data are used by our statistical module to compute a Gross Price stock value and a global stock profitability.

Another computation performed by the statistical moduleis the profitability on a per item or per category of item basis.
This way, you know in real time which items of each categories are the most profitable for your business.

These valuable piece of information are of great help while discussing with manufacturers!
