Set COGS once, sync up to 90 days of orders, and review net profit, margin, order health, and profit trends in one dashboard. Use alerts to catch low-profit orders and the price simulator to test margins before changing prices.
ProfitGuard Pro tracks real net profit in real time — not just revenue. It accounts for every deduction: COGS, refunds, discounts, shipping, and payment fees. The Action Center ranks alerts by financial impact so you fix what matters first. The Cause Finder shows which products drive refunds. Dead Inventory flags stock tying up cash. Every week, an AI summary explains your profit trends in plain English.
