Margin Intelligence

Definition
Real-time visibility into per-order, per-SKU, and per-channel profitability using live data from ERP, logistics, and FX systems.
Margin intelligence refers to the real-time analytical capability that combines data from multiple systems — ERP (COGS, supplier costs), logistics (freight zones, dimensional weight), financial (FX rates, payment processing fees), and commerce (discounts, promotions, bundles) — to calculate true per-order profitability at the moment of transaction. Unlike traditional profit dashboards that aggregate data retroactively, margin intelligence operates at the speed of commerce, providing the data foundation for profit governance enforcement. Effective margin intelligence requires sub-second data synchronization across systems, which is why Agentis integrates directly with NetSuite via Celigo for real-time COGS data.
