Aperchur

Every tool in your stack is grading its own homework

So we stopped renting dashboards and built one system that makes them agree: every data source connected, checked against the others, and turned into one view of the business and a plan for this week.

Every tool grades its own homework

Meta
says one ROAS.
Google
says another.
Shopify
has its own revenue.
Your 3PL, warehouse and supplier invoices
all disagree about inventory.
Revenue, costs and timing
rarely land in the same month, so true margin moves.

Every week started the same way at the brand we built it for: export, paste, reconcile, argue about the margin. So we stopped renting dashboards and built one system that makes them agree.

Blended numbers first. Platform claims never.

01
Blended attribution first

Total spend against new-customer revenue, not what each platform claims.

02
No click ID? Marked n/a

Never guessed. A gap stays visible as a gap.

03
Months close when costs land

A month closes only when supplier costs arrive. Then it never moves.

04
Every mismatch sorted

Each billing mismatch is sorted into a real write-off or a data error.

And before anyone sees a number, a second AI agent QCs it.
04

What it caught

Ad spend
Real CAC was about 10% higher than dashboards showed

Platforms report spend before the sales tax the brand actually pays.

Inventory
Reserve stock the 3PL never saw
Inventory
Unsellable inventory still on the shelf
Books
SKU renames, duplicates and mislabeled lots hiding in the books
Shipping
A “shipping is too expensive” complaint that was really a labeling problem
05

What changed across your tools, and one next step for each change.

Why “Aperchur”

Aperchur aperture mark
Say it uh-PER-chur. It’s a spelling of aperture, the opening that lets light in.

Narrow it and the picture gets sharper. That’s the whole idea: fewer numbers, clearer ones, and a plan for this week.
