Inspiration

After running my online dropshipping business for 3 months I realized that it was getting hard to track my profits and cost the more orders I got.

What it does

You input your csv from both your supplier and your orders and the program parses the data and inputs it into the built in dashboard and it shows you how much you've made and spent on product.

How we built it

I used HTML and CSS for the front-end, and JavaScript and Python for the back-end. With the use of libraries like pandas and Flask, it made CSV and dataframe manipulation simple and efficient.

Challenges we ran into

The Aliexpress CSV has some weird rows that caused some road blocks, causing the front-end dashboard to display nothing but $0.00s on the expenses section.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I built this by myself not knowing how to connect the front-end to the back-end so I am very proud of myself for getting over that hurdle.

What we learned

Making personal projects like this is very time consuming and stressful by yourself, but by the end of it, it is very rewarding and you get to learn a lot in the process.

What's next for ProfitPilot

I currently only have "Sales" and "Costs" to dispay the overall gain from the transaction but there are other variables that are in place too like Fees & Taxes and Marketting that I plan on implementing in the future. Also a way to download your overall earnings after all the calculations would be a good addition.
