SKU Profit Lens

CFO-grade cost breakdown for a single product, made for small sellers

Inspiration: Quality Service

In corporate financial management, professional finance teams perform monthly cost breakdowns and gross margin analysis for individual product lines, tracing every hidden cost and recommending pricing or cost-cutting actions.

Why Ordinary People Can't Access It

Hiring a professional financial analyst is expensive. Small e-commerce sellers and solo entrepreneurs price products by gut feel, ignoring hidden costs like platform fees, shipping, and returns—selling more while earning less.

AI-Powered Equalizer

Sellers upload basic data for a single SKU—sale price, sourcing cost, platform commission, shipping, and return rate—and AI automatically breaks down its unit economics, highlights hidden cost items, flags loss points, and delivers actionable pricing or cost-reduction suggestions.

Key Features

  • Generate a full SKU margin breakdown in 3 minutes from basic inputs
  • Automatically surfaces hidden costs like platform fees, shipping, and returns
  • Color-codes each cost item with a red-yellow-green traffic light view
  • Simulates break-even outcomes under different pricing scenarios
  • Delivers one concrete, actionable fix for the biggest loss driver

Target Users

Small e-commerce sellers, solo entrepreneurs, online store operators, micro-brand owners

Business Model

Free trial report + monthly subscription for unlimited SKU analyses + annual multi-seat team plan
