Back-office for food markets + specialty grocers

DSD + wholesale distributor invoices

NexosIQ extracts direct-store-delivery invoices (beverage, snacks, bread) and wholesale (UNFI, KeHE, Chex, Sysco) with case counts, pack sizes, and SKUs captured correctly.

Produce freight cost breakout

Produce invoices often bury freight, fuel surcharges, and pallet fees in the subtotal. CostIQ extracts these as separate categories so your produce cost is actually produce.

Per-department P&L

Tag invoices to deli, bakery, prepared foods, grocery, produce, meat. Per-department P&L shows which departments are pulling their weight and which are a loss leader.

Vendor price alerts on staples

When the price of a case of bananas creeps up 12% over a month, you get a ping. Per-SKU trend charts across every distributor so you can swap before you lose margin.

Prime Cost per location

Multi-store food markets get True P&L per location. Prime Cost (COGS + Labor) tracked in real time from POS revenue + extracted invoice costs + timecards. Requires POS integration (Professional tier).
