Gran. Profit Free and Pro

What you actually made, after every cost.

Revenue is the number everyone celebrates and nobody banks. Gran Profit shows contribution after product cost, shipping, payment fees, returns, RTO and ad spend, every day, for the period you pick. Every number explains itself in one click.

On Gran Free: the last 7 days. On Pro: your full history, every range and year-on-year.

Gran Profit on the Gran sample brand

The P&L arrives too late to steer by

Most brands find out what a month made three weeks after it ended, when the accountant closes the books. By then the campaign that lost money has run for another month, the discount that wiped out margin has been copied into the next sale, and the courier with the worst COD returns has shipped another few thousand parcels.

Ad platforms will happily tell you about ROAS in real time, but ROAS ignores tax, product cost, shipping, payment fees and returns. Two brands with a ROAS of 3 can be in completely different positions: one making healthy profit, the other paying to grow.

What Gran Profit shows you

A waterfall from order value to profit

Order value, less tax, refunds, RTO, product cost, shipping and handling, and payment fees, gives contribution before marketing. Less ad spend gives contribution after marketing: the number that tells you whether growth is paying for itself.

Actual costs, labelled honestly

Where your data has them, Gran uses them: product cost from Shopify, freight from courier invoices, fees from Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU, PhonePe PG or Easebuzz, RTO measured on settled orders. Each line says whether it is actual, part actual or estimated, so nobody mistakes an assumption for a fact.

Explain this change

Click any number and Gran breaks the move down: fewer orders or a lower order value, new or returning customers, prepaid or COD, which products and which sources moved most. The question a founder asks in every review, answered before it is asked.

Prepaid against COD

Contribution per order for prepaid and cash on delivery side by side, after RTO, so the real cost of COD has a number on it. Plus regions and the discount codes that sold, and what each one cost.

What changed, ranked by money

Home lists the week’s changes ranked by their effect on profit, each with roughly what it is worth a month and the fix to make. Add one to Gran Decisions, mark it done, and Gran checks 14 days later whether it worked.

Targets and pacing

Set the month’s revenue, orders, spend and profit targets. Gran projects where the month will land from your own daily pattern and gives the daily run rate that closes the gap.

The terms, defined

Contribution margin (CM1, CM2, CM3)
Contribution margin is the revenue left from a sale after the variable costs of making and delivering it.
CM1, CM2 and CM3
CM1, CM2 and CM3 are three layers of contribution margin: after product cost, after fulfilment and payment costs, and after marketing.
MER (marketing efficiency ratio)
MER is total revenue divided by total marketing spend across every channel.
Break-even ROAS
Break-even ROAS is the return on ad spend at which an order covers its variable costs and its acquisition cost, leaving zero profit.
Unit economics
Unit economics describes the revenue and costs of a single unit of a business, such as one order or one customer.
Gross margin
Gross margin is the share of the selling price left after the direct cost of the product.

Questions

Where does product cost come from?

From the cost per item you set in Shopify, line by line. Where a product has no cost, Gran uses the percentage you set in Assumptions, and the P&L marks product cost as estimated.

How is RTO counted?

On cash-on-delivery orders that have finished: delivered or returned. Recent orders are still moving, so for a short or recent period Gran measures the rate on orders placed 15 to 75 days earlier. That stops a good-looking week from hiding returns that have not arrived yet.

Is this the same as my accounting P&L?

No. Gran Profit is a contribution P&L: it covers the variable costs of each order and your marketing, every day. Your accountant’s P&L adds fixed costs, depreciation and tax at the end of the month. You can add a monthly fixed cost in Assumptions to see an operating view.
