Actual margin per operation, not a monthly estimate.
Cost accrued from intake, contract price, margin visible before you close. You don’t need to wait until month-end to know whether you made money.
Without a system, margin is the last number you calculate
Trading companies know how much they sold at the end of the month. What they don’t know for certain is how much they made.
Margin is calculated at period close.
If a contract lost money, you find out weeks later. By then there’s nothing left to adjust — only explanations.
Cost doesn’t include all the real expenses.
Freight, weight loss, milling and storage stay out of the calculation. The margin you see is higher than the real one — until someone adds it all up.
Comparing contracts means building an analysis from scratch.
There’s no view that shows how much each contract generated. Every profitability analysis is a project in Excel — and it doesn’t always get done.
The cost of coffee changes as it’s transformed, but the record doesn’t.
Wet to dry, parchment to excelso — each step changes the real cost. If the record isn’t updated, margin is calculated on the wrong number.
From purchase cost to actual margin, in five steps
Cost is captured from the first record and updated with every operation. Margin is available in real time — not at period close.
Cost is captured at intake
The purchase price, adjusted by yield factor, is the lot’s first cost. It’s recorded at the moment of purchase — not at period close.
Expenses accrue onto the lot
Freight, milling, weight loss, storage — each expense is linked to the lot that generated it. The real cost of the coffee grows with every operation.
The sale price comes from the contract
When the lot is assigned to a contract, the system takes the agreed price. For differential contracts, it calculates it when the price is fixed.
Margin is available in real time
Not at month-end. When you assign a lot to a contract, you can already see how much you’re going to make — or how much you’re losing.
Compare by lot, contract or period
Filter by lot, supplier, quality or period. Identify which operations generate margin and which destroy it — without building the analysis in Excel.
Profitability visible on every operation
BeanFlux calculates margin from the moment of purchase. Every cost accrues onto the lot, and margin updates with every movement.
Margin by contract
See the gross and net margin of each sale contract, calculated against the real cost of the assigned coffee — including purchase, yield factor, freight and transformation.
Margin by shipment
Every shipment has its own profitability analysis. Know exactly how much you made on each delivery, not just on the whole contract.
Cost from intake
The lot’s cost is built from the moment of purchase: price paid, yield factor, freight, milling, weight loss and storage expenses.
Real profitability, not accounting
Compare profitability by lot, quality, period or supplier. Identify which operations generate margin and which destroy it — before it’s too late.
Know your margin before you close the month
