The problem
Landed cost, fulfilment, stock ageing and marketplace fees quickly make generic accounts unreliable.
How SCA helps
SCA helps homeware brands understand product profitability and cashflow before stock decisions bite. Settlement-level reconciliation, VAT handled before it bites, and a monthly reporting cadence built for eCommerce brands doing £1m–£20m.
Built around how homeware brands actually make and spend money
Bulky goods, fragile margins and slow stock. Homeware needs its own reporting, not a generic template.
Landed cost with bulky freight
Oversized goods carry freight, damage risk and clearance costs that dwarf a standard parcel. Per-unit landed cost is the only margin number worth planning on.
Damage and returns on bulky items
Return logistics for furniture and large homeware can eat the whole margin on the sale. We track damage, returns and replacements as their own cost lines, not as noise in the total.
Stock ageing and warehouse commitments
Slow movers tie up cash and warehouse space at the same time. Ageing review keeps stock decisions in front of you, not behind.
Supplier commitments and deposits
Deposits, balance payments and long lead times mean cash leaves months before goods land. The commitments calendar makes that visible while there is still time to act.
Marketplace fees on high-ticket lines
Fee percentages on big baskets add up quickly. Product-level profitability should carry its marketplace costs, not just its cost of goods.
What you get every month
Monthly reporting built for big baskets and slow stock: margin, cash and VAT in plain English.

Optional, scoped separately: forecasting, historical cleanup and exit preparation.
One range, traced from landed cost to contribution
An illustrative shape of the homeware reporting (hypothetical figures for structure only; worked on your data at onboarding):
Sales against returns and damage, by channel
Landed cost per unit: goods, bulky freight, clearance and warehousing
Contribution after marketplace fees and return logistics
Stock ageing review, then deposits due for the next container
Illustrative specimen. Figures are hypothetical and meant to show the shape of the reporting, not a result.
The difference, side by side.
This is the actual job: turning the left column into the right column — and keeping it there every month.
