What is ActionableBI?
ActionableBI is a profitability tracking tool for e-commerce businesses. It visualizes your GM1, GM2, GM3 and EBITDA using your actual data — including revenue, ad spend, returns, fulfillment, and COGS — so you can make informed decisions, not assumptions.
Tool in action
Here are a few screenshots from real dashboards used by a set of eCommerce companies:
The CFO's favourite view. OR, the cost-efficient substitute for a CFO at this stage:
Daily breakdown of COGS, fulfillment, ads, and GM3 — revealing the margin left after all variable costs. Extremely easy, if the GM3 bar is higher than the fixed costs, the day is profitable!
Key metrics at a glance

A lot of metrics to compare for the geeky ones
Choose which key metric you want to view — including revenue, GM1, GM2, GM3, ad spend, and EBITDA.
Plug and Play, not platform dependent
There are already connectors for all the ad tools (Meta, Google ads, TikTok, Search Console, Analytics, etc). The only other thing we need to feed in is your sales data on order level from your eCom platform (Shopify, Magento, Woocommerce, Refox, etc), and your product list with sales prices and purchase prices.
Did we say that all data is yours? Everyghing can be set up on a Google Cloud Bigquery that YOU own, and this tool is just the processor. (GDPR safe and future-proof. You own the data if you want to do something else with it in the future.
