What founders ask us
“Is this SKU actually profitable after Amazon's fees, freight, and 18% returns?”
Most e-comm dashboards show gross revenue. Real profit shows up after marketplace cuts, fulfillment, ad spend, freight, and returns — and by then the inventory's already bought. CentSight tags every fee at the order level, so the answer is one click and it's right today.
What it looks like
Click through the tabs. Every panel is the actual product.
Revenue minus COGS, marketplace fees, payment processing, freight, ad spend, and returns — calculated per order, rolled up by SKU and channel. The 'best seller' that nets 2% after Amazon takes its cut. The hero SKU that's actually a loss leader. The number you wished you had before the inventory was bought.

Don't take our word for it
“We thought our hero SKU was our profit driver. CentSight showed us it had a 2% margin after Amazon. We rebuilt the entire assortment and recovered $60K in a quarter.”
