Low-margin SKU audit for lighting catalogs
Lighting catalogs often have many variants, technical attributes, wattage options, colour temperatures, replacement SKUs, and supplier price changes. That makes cost matching and margin cleanup easy to overlook.
Margin risks to check first
- Variants with missing Shopify cost per item.
- Supplier price changes that affect only part of a product family.
- Technical variants that share similar names but have different cost structures.
- Low-margin products still promoted in bulk or seasonal campaigns.
- Inventory tied up in weak-margin lighting variants.
Best first scan
Scan the product families with the most variants and the SKUs affected by the latest supplier file. Sort by missing costs, margin gap, and inventory risk before deciding what to reprice.
How Margin Sentinel helps
