The Manual Conversion Headache
Purchasing from suppliers in Japan, South Korea, the EU, and the US means dealing with JPY, KRW, EUR, and USD. Traditional methods involve:
- Constantly checking live exchange rates.
- Manually converting each line item in your purchase list.
- Risking errors from outdated rates or miscalculations.
- Losing visibility into your true total cost in your base currency.
This process is time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient.
