Shopify merchants understand that optimizing product profitability is key to driving sustainable growth. AngularView’s Product Profitability Analysis dashboards provide detailed, actionable insights into your products’ performance across various timeframes—yearly, quarterly, monthly, and weekly. By focusing on metrics like gross profit and cost, these dashboards help merchants make informed decisions to enhance revenue and minimize losses.
Yearly Product Profitability Analysis Dashboard
Yearly insights offer a strategic overview of how your products contribute to profitability over the long term.
- Deep Dive into Trends:
This dashboard spans the last three calendar years and includes key metrics like “Gross Profit” and “Gross Profit Percentage” by default. Dimensions such as “Product Name” and “Product Type” provide context for product-level performance. - How It Can Help:
- Identify top-performing product categories over multiple years.
- Assess how pricing and discount strategies have impacted profitability.
- Highlight trends in gross profit growth or decline across your product lines.
- Tips to Maximize Impact:
- Enable optional measures like “Total Cost” to evaluate cost-heavy products.
- Use “Product Vendor” to assess supplier-specific performance.
- Example Use Case:
A merchant finds that gift cards consistently drive high gross profit percentages and decides to expand their availability and promotions.
Quarterly Product Profitability Analysis Dashboard
Quarterly analysis allows you to monitor product performance through seasonal changes.
- What It Offers:
The dashboard breaks down performance using metrics like “Line Discounted Value” and “Gross Profit,” giving you a granular view of how your products perform within each quarter. - Why It Matters:
- Understand seasonal shifts in product profitability.
- Identify and promote high-margin products during peak seasons.
- Evaluate the quarterly impact of supplier or manufacturing cost changes.
- Best Practices for Use:
- Combine “SKU Count” with “Gross Profit Percentage” to identify underperforming SKUs.
- Toggle on “Unfulfilled Quantity” to manage inventory-related profitability challenges.
- Real-World Application:
A merchant identifies low Q1 profits for a seasonal product and shifts marketing efforts to better align with the product’s peak season in Q3.
Monthly Product Profitability Analysis Dashboard
Monthly tracking allows for agile responses to changes in product performance.
- Key Metrics and Insights:
Default measures such as “Gross Profit” and “Line Discounted Value” enable merchants to track the impact of promotions, new product launches, or cost adjustments. - How It Solves Challenges:
- Address underperforming products before they impact quarterly or yearly results.
- Monitor the success of new product launches in real time.
- Adapt pricing strategies based on current profitability trends.
- Tips for Success:
- Leverage “Item Variant Title” to compare the performance of product variations.
- Use “Currency Code” for multi-region analysis of profitability.
- Example in Practice:
A merchant sees increased profits after using the dashboard to identify and discontinue low-margin products, reallocating resources to promote top-performing items.
Weekly Product Profitability Analysis Dashboard
Weekly insights help merchants fine-tune product strategies in real-time.
- What Makes It Unique:
The dashboard provides a highly detailed view of profitability using measures like “Gross Profit Percentage” and “Line Discounted Value,” offering a short-term perspective on performance. - Immediate Benefits:
- Quickly identify issues like unfulfilled orders or unexpected cost increases.
- React to the weekly impact of flash sales or new product launches.
- Maintain consistent profit margins by addressing trends as they occur.
- Pro Tips for Merchants:
- Drill into “Product Type” to refine inventory and marketing strategies.
- Scenario Example:
