Challenge

Where operational execution breaks down.

ERP tracks COGS, 3PL portals record fulfilment fees, and discount data sits in Excel.

Finance teams spend days merging siloed data through fragile spreadsheets just to estimate profitability.

True SKU and channel level margins remain hidden. Profitability insights are incomplete or outdated.

Leadership makes growth bets without visibility, often scaling low-margin products that hurt EBITDA.
