The critical business intelligence SkuVault doesn't provide. Know exactly which SKUs make money and which drain your profits.
Requires manual report generation and data aggregation across multiple reports. You know WHAT'S in your warehouse and can manually calculate IF IT'S PROFITABLE (if you dig into the Sales Report).
You know WHICH SKUs make money and which to cut.
"Widgets sold 500 units last month. Great seller! Stock them more."
❌ Decision: Increase orders
"Widgets: 500 units × $2 cost = $1,000 COGS. Sold at $5 = $2,500 revenue. But gadgets (200 units × $1 cost) sold at $8 = easier $1,400 profit."
✓ Decision: Push gadgets, optimize widget pricing
See total gross profit contribution for every SKU. Ranked by profit margin percentage (high >30%, medium 10-30%, low <10%, unprofitable <0%). Identify your profit drivers and loss leaders in seconds.
Know how many SKUs fall into each profit tier. Track whether your catalog is tilted toward high-margin or low-margin products. Monitor margin trends over time.
Automatically ranked top 10 most profitable and bottom 10 least profitable SKUs. See current stock levels to understand the financial risk of each underperformer.
Compare cost per unit against current selling price. Identify pricing opportunities on low-margin items or margin-squeeze products where costs have risen but prices haven't.
Track if margin performance is improving or deteriorating. See which SKUs have become more/less profitable over time as costs and sales volumes change.
What it is: The total profit dollars earned by a single SKU. This is calculated as: (Selling Price − Cost Per Unit) × Quantity Sold.
Why it matters: Not all high-margin SKUs are equally profitable. A 50% margin product selling 2 units/month might contribute less profit than a 10% margin product selling 500 units/month.
What it is: The aggregate profit dollars earned by a group of SKUs (by category, warehouse, channel, or customer segment) or your entire business.
Why it matters: Identifies which product categories, locations, or sales channels drive the most absolute profit. Essential for resource allocation and strategic decisions.
What it is: The percentage of revenue retained as profit. Formula: (Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100.
Why it matters: Shows the efficiency with which you convert sales into profit. 40% margin is effectively twice as efficient as 20% margin.
What they are: SKUs with negative profit (selling price below cost) or margin below 0%.
Why it matters: Some may be strategic (loss leaders to drive customer acquisition), but most need repricing, discontinuation, or supplier negotiation.
