Browntape centralises multichannel orders, inventory and shipping so a seller runs everything from one console. It keeps operations tidy. It doesn't score return risk by pincode or surface the contribution margin hiding under COGS, gateway fees and ad spend.
01The open question
Operations are centralised — where's the margin leaking? It centralises operations. It doesn't score a pincode's return risk, or tell you the contribution margin left after COGS, gateway fees and ad spend.
