Profit analytics for apparel & fashion brands

In apparel, returns and markdowns decide your margin as much as COGS does. A style can sell out and still lose money once size-driven returns and end-of-season discounting are counted. Keelvia shows net profit after all of it, so you buy and discount with real numbers.

The margin reality for apparel brands

Apparel gross margins can look healthy at full price, but high return rates and inevitable markdowns on unsold inventory pull realized margin well below the sticker.

What eats into apparel margins

Keelvia accounts for every one of these so your reported profit reflects reality.

  • Returns & exchanges

    Size and fit returns that carry round-trip shipping and restocking costs.

  • Markdowns & clearance

    End-of-season discounting that erodes the margin you planned.

  • Inventory & carrying cost

    Capital tied up in sizes and colorways that may not sell through.

  • Ad spend & CAC

    Paid acquisition that has to clear a return-adjusted contribution margin.

What to watch in your numbers

  • Return-adjusted net profit by style and size, not gross sales.
  • Realized margin after markdowns versus planned full-price margin.
  • Sell-through rate's effect on contribution margin.
