Connecting ecommerce growth to channel contribution

Digital revenue can grow while fulfillment expense, returns, promotions and channel mix weaken the contribution behind each order. Ecommerce performance becomes more useful when topline growth is connected to the economics required to produce it.

City Shift Finance works with retailers to connect digital revenue to fulfillment cost, returns, promotional activity, order economics and channel terms so ecommerce growth is measured against the margin and cash it produces.

Benefits

Stronger channel contribution

Digital revenue is connected to fulfillment, returns and promotional cost so channel growth is measured against the contribution retained after each transaction.

Better order economics

Order value, product mix, delivery commitments and return behavior are evaluated together to identify where digital volume is consuming margin or creating additional operating cost.

Improved revenue capture

Pricing, promotion and channel terms are reviewed against realized revenue so ecommerce growth retains more of the economics created at checkout and after fulfillment.
