Ecommerce Audit in Colchester
An ecommerce audit for Colchester retailers that follows the money rather than the traffic. Revenue per product is easy to see; what almost nobody has calculated is what remains after the discount code, the shipping subsidy and the twenty per cent of that line that comes back — and some best sellers are losing money.
Why this comes up
The problem
The top ten products by revenue are known, and nobody can say which of them are profitable after returns and delivery.
What you get
What we deliver
- Contribution calculated per product after discounts, shipping and return rates
- Return rates examined by line, since a few items usually drive most of them
- Discount usage analysed, including codes that leaked and never expired
- Shipping thresholds tested against average order value and actual carrier cost
- Product data quality checked, because feeds and search both depend on it
- Stock behaviour reviewed — oversells, unavailable bestsellers and dead inventory

Ecommerce Audit in Colchester — common questions
- Why work at product level?
- Because averages hide the problem. A category can look healthy while two lines inside it are sold at a loss after returns and free delivery, and those lines are frequently the ones being promoted hardest because they appear to sell well.
- How much do returns distort things?
- In some categories, entirely. Where a third of an item comes back, and each return costs carriage both ways plus handling and sometimes an unsellable product, the margin calculated at the point of sale bears no relation to what the line actually earns.
- What turns up with discount codes?
- Codes that were never switched off, stacking that was not intended, and a proportion of orders where somebody would have bought anyway. The last of those is the largest and the hardest to accept, because it looks like performance in every report.
- Is free delivery worth it?
- It depends on where the threshold sits relative to your basket. Set just above the average order value it raises baskets and pays for itself; set below it, you are subsidising orders that were already coming — and the arithmetic is specific enough to your carrier rates that a general answer is worthless.
- Do you work with businesses across Essex?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Colchester and the surrounding Essex area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Colchester businesses do you usually work with?
- Suppliers needing security and compliance evidence for public-sector and defence procurement, plus student-facing services. Beyond that we work across Public Sector, Defence, Higher Education, Retail and Agriculture.
- Do you cover the areas around Colchester?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Chelmsford, Canterbury, London. Colchester is an urban area of roughly 190,000+, and we take on work across the wider Essex region rather than the city boundary alone.
