- Monitor and report on SCOGS (Shipped Cost of Goods Sold) to assess the cost impact of units fulfilled and shipped by Amazon, identifying margin leakage or improvement opportunities.
- Track PCOGS (Purchase Cost of Goods Sold) to evaluate the cost basis of units purchased by Amazon, and reconcile against vendor terms and pricing agreements.
- Analyze the spread between SCOGS and PCOGS to flag fulfillment inefficiencies, chargeback trends, or pricing discrepancies that affect brand profitability.
- Publish regular brand P&L summaries to NAMs and leadership, pairing cost metrics with revenue and traffic data to give a complete picture of brand health.
