Margin Maker
By CBIN · Buying Intelligence

You already have the data. Margin Maker puts it to work.

Buying season doesn’t wait for a spreadsheet. Margin Maker scores your whole menu in seconds — so the next order goes out on the math, not a gut call at 11pm.

The real cost

How much time do you actually have?

By hand

~6 hrs

Exporting, pivoting, and second-guessing a spreadsheet for every category — per buy cycle.

With Margin Maker

~4 min

Connect, score, decide. The ranked menu is waiting before your coffee’s cold.

Plug and play

Three steps — you already did step zero

  1. 01

    Connect

    Link Treez or drop a CSV. Step zero — the data entry — you already did at the register.

  2. 02

    It reads your data every way

    Margin, velocity, replenishment, house-brand fit and risk — a thousand cross-cuts, in seconds.

  3. 03

    Decide

    A ranked BUY / CONSIDER / PASS menu. Buy on the numbers and watch the margin.

Under the hood

A thousand ways to read your data — one clear answer

Buy / Pass scoring

Every SKU gets a defensible verdict — BUY, CONSIDER, or PASS — with the factors that drove it.

Velocity

Sell-through and days-on-shelf per SKU, so slow movers surface before they tie up the next order.

Margin optimization

See blended margin by category and where a swap lifts the basket without touching foot traffic.

Menu scoring

Rank the whole menu in one pass. Hand the GM a ranked sheet, not a hunch.

Inventory alerts

Flags dead weight and stockouts before they cost you — replenishment you can act on Monday.

Cultivus AI

Ask the agent what to drop and what to chase. It reads your numbers against the market.

Integrations

Plugs into the POS you already run

The difference

Same SKU. Two decisions.

The gut call

“It moves, keep buying it.”

The budget shake sells. Nobody clocked that it turns at 31% and carries a 22% margin — quietly the worst dollar on the shelf.

Budget Shake 14g

PASS24

Flagged PASS on day one: low margin, low velocity, replaceable. Cut it, free the shelf, redeploy to a SKU turning 2.3× faster.

Outcome+8% blended margin

Anonymized and illustrative — figures from a representative independent operator.
