Hidden-Loss SKU Scanner
Upload sales data and uncover silently losing products in 3 minutes
Inspiration: Quality Service
Professional finance teams perform monthly cost breakdown and margin analysis per product, accounting for hidden costs like shipping, packaging, and returns, then flag losing SKUs and recommend price adjustments or discontinuation.
Why Ordinary People Can't Access It
Hiring dedicated cost analysts is unaffordable for small businesses. Hidden costs—shipping, damage, returns, platform fees—are scattered and hard to track. Manual spreadsheets are slow, error-prone, and total revenue often masks losses until money has quietly bled for months.
AI-Powered Equalizer
Users simply upload a POS export or paste basic sales data. AI consolidates visible and hidden costs, computes the true margin of every SKU, highlights loss-makers in red, explains exactly which cost component caused the loss, and suggests concrete fix-or-drop actions.
