You know your revenue.
Do you know your real CAC?

Milton Insight
💡Your top 3 SKUs generate 68% of revenue but only 41% of orders. Bundling them with slow-movers could improve inventory turns by 1.2×.

The metrics that determine if your growth is profitable

Top-line revenue growth is easy to celebrate. Milton tracks the numbers underneath — the ones that tell you whether scaling your ad spend will actually make you more money.

Benchmark: 3–5×

ROAS

Milton tracks ROAS at the SKU level and by channel — not just as an aggregate. A blended 4× ROAS can hide one channel at 1.8× destroying your margins while another at 8× is underinvested.

Includes all costs

True CAC

Most tools show you ad spend ÷ conversions. Milton factors in returns, shipping, support tickets, and fulfillment overhead to give you the real cost of acquiring each customer.

Target: under 6 months

CAC Payback Period

How many months of purchases does it take before a customer covers their acquisition cost? Milton tracks this by cohort — so you know which channels are bringing in the customers who actually stick around.

What Milton finds in e-commerce data

Real patterns from real e-commerce operations. Each finding comes with a number — because vague advice is worthless.

Inventory

"Your top 3 SKUs drive 68% of revenue but only 41% of orders"

Bundling them with slow-movers could improve inventory turns by 1.2× and reduce overstock write-offs by an estimated €4,200 this quarter.

Acquisition

"Meta ads show 4.1× ROAS but your true CAC after returns is €34, not €18"

Your return rate on Meta-sourced customers is 2.3× higher than Google. Shifting €2,000/month of budget would improve blended CAC by 22%.

LTV

"Customers who buy Product A as their first purchase have a 3-month LTV 2.8× higher than the average"

Featuring Product A in acquisition campaigns could reduce CAC payback from 5.2 months to under 2 months for those cohorts.
