Amazon sales can scale quickly—but the truth lies in fees, PPC, returns and timing.
If you do not consolidate this data properly, you optimize for revenue—and lose profit.

Settlement-based accounting rather than “standard” bookkeeping.
Payouts, reserves and subsequent charges: without a clear structure, profit can seem like a matter of chance.
FBA fees & storage costs quietly reduce your margins.
If you focus only on revenue, you may not notice until cash flow takes a turn for the worse.
PPC generates revenue—but not necessarily profit.
Without the correct allocation of advertising costs, your true margin remains unclear.
Returns & reimbursements distort your figures every month.
If returns are not recorded correctly, every analysis presents an overly positive picture.
Cost of goods sold & inventory are the foundation—and are often incorrect.
Incorrect COGS makes every pricing and scaling decision risky.
Multichannel without consolidation means no single source of truth.
Amazon, OTTO, Kaufland, eBay, Shopify — if the data is not consolidated, you cannot see the full picture.
