The idea

True margin, across every channel, without the manual exports

A merchant selling across marketplaces, storefronts, and wholesale channels had no single view of real profit once shipping, platform fees, and product cost were factored in - just a pile of spreadsheets rebuilt by hand every day. We built a backend service that ingests order and shipment data from every channel, computes true per-order margin, and pushes clean profitability and inventory-health reports straight into the reporting tools the team already used - fully automated, running on its own every day.

Profitability engine

Per-order margin calculated automatically, accounting for real shipping and platform costs on every channel.

Inventory health

Daily stock alerts computed from a full year of sales velocity, flagged well before anything runs out.

Multi-channel sync

Marketplace, storefront, and wholesale order data unified into a single reporting pipeline.

Market intelligence

Automated competitor price tracking feeding straight into pricing decisions.

True margin, not gross sales

Shipping cost, platform fees, and product cost are pulled together automatically before a profit number ever reaches a spreadsheet.

Alerts before the stockout

Twelve months of sales velocity flags what's about to run out, days before it becomes an emergency.

Runs itself, every day

Once built, the whole pipeline runs unattended on a schedule - no analyst re-running exports by hand.

Selling on ten channels and one spreadsheet?

We build the backend that turns raw store data into daily decisions.
