Product Analytics

Know which products make money — and which quietly destroy your margin

Revenue by product is easy to see. Profit by product is where most retail brands are flying completely blind. We show you which SKUs are genuinely worth stocking, promoting, and expanding — and which ones are costing you more than they earn.

Questions this answers

The product questions your data should already be answering

Which products generate the highest profit — not just the most revenue?

Which SKUs have the highest return rates — and why are customers sending them back?

Which product categories are growing — and which are in decline?

Are there bundling opportunities between high-performing products?

Which products should I promote — and which ones should I quietly discontinue?

What is the sell-through rate on new product launches versus existing lines?

Problems we solve

The product visibility problems we fix

Revenue hides the real product story

A product can be your top revenue earner and still be unprofitable after returns, discounts, and COGS. Without margin-level visibility, you cannot see this.

High return rates go unnoticed

A SKU with a 20% return rate is destroying margin silently. Without return rate tracking by product, these problems compound for months before anyone acts.

You promote the wrong products

Marketing budgets often go to products with big revenue numbers — not necessarily the ones with the healthiest margins or the most growth potential.

Assortment decisions are based on gut feel

Decisions about what to keep, expand, or discontinue should be driven by data on margin, sell-through, and return rate — not category manager intuition.

New product launches lack performance benchmarks

Without historical sell-through data, every new product launch is evaluated in isolation rather than against a meaningful performance baseline.

Bundling opportunities go undiscovered

Products frequently bought together — but not yet sold together — represent margin-accretive bundling opportunities that only appear in purchase pattern data.

KPIs included

What we track — in plain business language

Every metric is chosen because it tells you something actionable about which products to back and which to cut.

Revenue by product & category
Total revenue broken down by every SKU, product line, and category — so you always know where revenue is concentrated and where it is spreading thin.
Product margin %
Gross margin per product after COGS — the number that separates high-revenue products from genuinely profitable ones in your assortment.
Return rate by SKU
The percentage of units returned per product — so you can identify quality, sizing, or expectation issues before they silently erode your profit.
Sell-through rate
What percentage of stock purchased was actually sold in a given period — a leading indicator of demand strength and assortment fit for every SKU.
Top SKUs by revenue
Your best-performing products ranked — so you can ensure they are always in stock, correctly priced, and featured in the right campaigns.
Category performance trends
How each product category performs over time — so you can spot emerging trends and declining lines before they impact your overall business results.

Here is what changes when you have real product-level visibility across your entire range:

Know exactly which products are profitable and which are eroding your margin — at the SKU level
Catch high return rate products early — before they silently cost you thousands in reverse logistics
Make confident assortment decisions — what to expand, promote, discontinue, or reorder — backed by real data
Discover bundling opportunities hiding in your purchase data that can increase AOV without any extra marketing spend
Set smarter promotional strategies — promote the products with the best margin potential, not just the best revenue numbers
Monthly product insights report with plain-English commentary on what is working and what needs attention
Decisions you can make

From product data to smarter business decisions

Rationalise your product assortment

Cut underperforming SKUs with confidence — backed by margin, sell-through, and return rate data rather than gut feel or supplier pressure.

Protect and grow your best products

Ensure your highest-margin SKUs are always in stock, correctly priced, and front and centre in your marketing campaigns.

Fix high-return products before they compound

Identify the SKUs driving the most returns — and investigate whether the issue is sizing, quality, product description, or photography.

Price with confidence

Understand margin at every price point so you can adjust pricing — especially during promotions — without accidentally making your best products unprofitable.

Launch new products with data-backed benchmarks

Compare every new product launch against your historical sell-through and margin benchmarks — so you know within weeks whether it is performing or not.

Build bundles that increase average order value

Use purchase pattern data to identify the combinations customers naturally gravitate toward — and formalise them as bundles to grow AOV profitably.
