Margin Analysis
Margin Intelligence
Definition
Real-time visibility into per-order, per-SKU, and per-channel profitability using live data from ERP, logistics, and FX systems.
By Herzel MishelFounder, AgentisLast reviewed
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 as each order is placed. 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 live data from each system of record, which is why Agentis uses a live NetSuite integration, commonly via Celigo, and computes each order's true margin within 60 seconds of it being placed.
