The Setpilot dashboard is your single-pane view of store profitability. This article walks through every section so you know exactly what you are looking at and how to interpret it.

Why it matters

Top KPI row

The 6 numbers you check every morning. Compare to the previous period to spot movement.

Daily trend chart

Visualises momentum. Toggle metrics on and off to see what is driving changes.

P&L waterfall

Revenue → CM1 → CM2 → CM3 → CM4

Shows where margin is lost at each step. Expand each bar to see category totals.

Cost breakdown

Product, Order Processing, Marketing, Other

Pie or bar chart of total costs in the period. Click a slice to drill into that category.

Country table

Revenue, orders, and CM per country

Identifies your best and worst markets by real profit (not just revenue).

Top products

Units, revenue, CM1 per SKU

Your most profitable products, not just your bestsellers by volume.

Reading the KPI tiles

Each KPI tile shows the value for the selected period with a comparison to the previous equivalent period:

  • Green arrow up — number improved vs the previous period.

  • Red arrow down — number got worse.

  • Grey dash — no change or no data in the previous period.

For cost metrics, "improved" means lower and "got worse" means higher — the colour logic is inverted automatically.

The P&L waterfall

The waterfall is the heart of Setpilot. It starts with Net Revenue and subtracts each cost category in order:

  1. Net Revenue — after discounts and refunds.

  2. Minus Product Costs → arrives at CM1 Gross Profit.

  3. Minus Order Processing (shipping + payment) → arrives at CM2 Order Profit.

  4. Minus Marketing → arrives at CM3 Contribution Margin.

  5. Minus Other → arrives at CM4 Net Profit.

Each bar is clickable and opens a drawer with the category breakdown.

Customising the view

Use the filter bar at the top of the dashboard to change the period, country, and sales source. See Dashboard filters for a full guide.

Data freshness

The dashboard refreshes automatically every hour. You can also trigger an on-demand sync with the Sync now button — see Manual sync and data freshness.
