The challenge
Every Monday the founders exported orders, ad spend and shipping invoices into a spreadsheet to estimate profit. The numbers were always a week old and often wrong.
The solution
ProfitDesk connects orders, product costs, payment fees, shipping and ad platforms into a daily profit view by product, channel and campaign.
- COGS mapped per variant, including packaging.
- Ad spend pulled from Meta and Google automatically.
- Weekly email digest for the whole team.
The results
The founders stopped manual reporting entirely. Repricing four loss-making gift sets lifted net margin by 6.5 points within two months.
Key takeaways
- Revenue leaders are not always profit leaders.
- Daily numbers enable faster pricing decisions.
We thought our gift sets were our best sellers. ProfitDesk showed they were losing money once shipping and fees were counted.
