Use case · Margin

Grow your contribution margin.

Revenue tells you what sold. Margin tells you what made money. Blufire shows you exactly where profit leaks across products, channels and customers, and the move that fixes it.

The job

You are trying to make more money, not more revenue.

Most tools steer on revenue and ROAS, and both can rise while the business makes less money. The number that decides whether the next sale makes you richer is contribution margin: revenue after the landed cost of goods, fulfilment, payment and transaction fees, and the variable marketing it took to win the order. Almost nothing surfaces it cleanly, so the products and channels quietly losing money keep getting fed. Blufire is built to find them.

Across thousands of 7 and 8 figure brands, the median contribution margin is about 25%, with a quartile spread from 3% to 56%.
Finaloop, Ecommerce Profit Benchmarks, 2024. That spread is the opportunity: it is the gap between operators who can see their margin and operators who cannot.
What you can do

See the whole path from revenue to profit.

01

Read the full margin ladder

Every cost between revenue and profit in one waterfall: CM1 after landed COGS, CM2 after fulfilment and fees, CM3 after variable marketing, then operating profit. You see exactly which rung the money leaves on.

02

Rank every product by contribution, not revenue

Sort your catalogue by the margin it actually keeps. The bestseller that runs on a free gift, or the bundle that ships heavy, shows up in the red, so you can stop feeding the lines that lose money and scale the ones that compound.

Watch margin compound by cohort

Track contribution margin per customer cohort as they repeat. The job is not a one-off sale, it is the durable margin a customer throws off over time, and you can see it climb (or stall) month by month.

See margin by channel and campaign

Which channels actually keep margin, not just which ones get the last click. Channel and campaign contribution is powered by Blufire's own attribution, not a last-touch guess from your store, so you can move spend toward what pays.

Every order reconciled to source

Margin is built from every variable cost on the order and reconciled back to source, not modelled or estimated. You can drill from a headline margin figure all the way to a single order and see exactly what it cost to fulfil and win.
