How Modkat achieved a clear and comprehensive view of their true profit
Modkat, a small business for cat lovers, started its journey with a clear mission – blend style with functionality. With their award-winning cat litter box designs, Rich and Brett had an all too familiar eCommerce growing pain. Like many businesses venturing into eCommerce, Modkat was dealing with multiple sales channels – Shopify and Amazon, across different regions, and achieving a holistic view of their financials was challenging and time-consuming.
We had an overall sense of our numbers, but never had a clear view of cumulative numbers from all sales channels... there was never one collective place to view all of our platforms together.

The need for an integrated solution became more apparent as they had to struggle each week with manually manipulating spreadsheets and dabbling with different platforms, which took about 5-10 hours at least. And above all, working with spreadsheets didn’t allow them to handle their financial complexities and couldn’t offer the comprehensive insights they craved.
“We tested a bunch of tools but the data was incomplete and their interfaces were so complicated and hard to look at. I’m a designer, I need to see data in an easily digestible way”, Brett recalls.
Modkat wanted a straightforward, visually appealing platform that would unify their data and provide them with insights into their overall financial performance and the profitability of each store.
The Solution: Empowering Modkat’s Multi-Channel Ecommerce Success with Simplified Eye-opening Financial Insights
With multiple Shopify and Amazon accounts across different regions, Modkat found its match in BeProfit. The platform’s ability to aggregate data from different accounts within each sales channel was a significant breakthrough. Adding to this, BeProfit’s capability of integrating marketing platforms, advertising numbers, and 3PL logistics data made the solution invaluable.
That was the first time I was ever able to see those numbers… It was really enlightening to see some of that information.
