Profit tracking software that knows your cost price
filarity tracks profit by holding a cost price against every product, so each sale records margin rather than revenue. Purchases, supplier bills and expenses land in the same period as the sales, and the dashboard ranks products by profit separately from revenue.

How the profit number is built
Profit is revenue minus what it actually cost you to earn it. That sounds obvious and it is where almost every spreadsheet falls down, because the costs arrive at different times and in different places from the sales.
- Every product carries a cost price, set on CSV import or in the product record
- Each sale records margin at the moment it is billed, not at month end
- Purchases and supplier bills are recorded against the period they support
- Expenses - ads, shipping, rent, salaries - sit in the same period as the sales
- The result is operating profit, per product, per channel and per period
Profit per product, ranked separately from revenue
Two rankings, side by side. The revenue ranking is the one you already have. The profit ranking is the one that changes what you order next, and the two rarely agree.
The fast seller with a thin margin
High volume hides a small per-unit loss extremely well. It reads as your best product in a sales report and contributes nothing at the bank.
The quiet product that funds the shop
Low volume, wide margin, no discounting, few returns. Invisible in a revenue ranking, and often the reason the month worked.
Margin per channel, in one figure
The same product does not earn the same everywhere. Marketplace commission, shipping economics and return rates differ enough that an item can be profitable at the counter and loss-making online at the same price. filarity puts Shopify orders, counter sales, WhatsApp orders and marketplace orders into one ledger with cost price attached, which is the only way that comparison can be made at all.
Where the cash actually went
Profit and cash are not the same thing, and a month can look fine on margin while the account empties. Expenses are broken down by category - stock, ads, shipping, rent, salaries - against the sales they paid for, so the gap between the two is visible rather than inferred.
Who can see the margins
Staff accounts unlock only the sections their role needs. A billing assistant can raise invoices all day without ever seeing a cost price or a profit figure, which is usually the reason cost price never made it into the system in the first place.
Questions people actually ask
Software that records what each sale cost you as well as what it earned, so it can report margin rather than turnover. The distinguishing feature is a cost price held against every product and expenses recorded in the same period as the sales.
Accounting software keeps your books - ledgers, reconciliation, statutory filing - and is usually run by a CA at month end. filarity reports operating profit per product and per channel and is run by the owner and the counter staff all day. Most sellers need both.
Import what you have and fill the rest in as stock arrives. Receiving a purchase in filarity sets the cost price for that batch, so the catalogue completes itself over a normal buying cycle.
Returns reduce the sale and the margin it recorded. Where a returned item comes back unsellable, writing it off in stock keeps the profit figure honest rather than flattering.
