/ Profit Recovery /
We find it. We fix it. We get paid when you save.
Devbox helps companies uncover unnecessary operational costs, eliminate inefficient processes and optimise expensive technology and supplier relationships.
From software subscriptions and logistics to payment fees, manual processes, AI automation and e-commerce operations, we look across your business to find where margin is quietly being lost.
Our interests are aligned with yours: our compensation can be directly linked to the savings we actually deliver.
No unnecessary reports. No theoretical savings. No savings, no success fee.

/ the problem /
Companies naturally accumulate complexity as they grow.
Individual costs may look insignificant, but together they can represent a considerable amount of lost margin every year.
Our job is to find it.
/ what we audit /
We look across the whole operation — not one department — because margin usually leaks at the seams between them.
We analyse the complete technology stack to identify unnecessary subscriptions, duplicated functionality, unused licences and expensive platforms.
Sometimes the cheapest software is the one you no longer need.
We map the platforms, plans, apps and integrations behind your store and what they really cost to run.
Reduce the Total Cost of Ownership of your commerce operation without compromising growth.
Explore E-commerce Cost OptimizationCost per order is where scale quietly rewards — or punishes — the operation.
Small differences in cost per order can represent significant annual savings at scale.
We calculate the real, blended cost of accepting money — not the headline rate.
The objective is to understand the real effective cost of getting paid.
We identify repetitive operational work that can be simplified, removed or automated.
We don't automate because AI is fashionable. We automate when the business case makes sense.
We benchmark recurring third-party spend and where it can be renegotiated, consolidated or replaced.
We benchmark existing commercial conditions and identify opportunities to renegotiate, consolidate or replace suppliers.
/ methodology /
Identifying savings is only valuable if those savings actually reach your P&L. That's why our work doesn't stop at recommendations.
We analyse the relevant operational expenditure, technology, suppliers and processes.
Every opportunity is documented and prioritised.
Devbox helps execute the changes — not just recommend them.
Savings are measured against an agreed financial baseline.
Our compensation can be connected directly to the verified financial benefit delivered.
If we cannot create measurable savings, there is no success fee.
/ illustrative examples /
Illustrative examples of the kind of opportunity an audit surfaces — not real Devbox client results.
We identify overlapping functionality and consolidate the stack.
We analyse whether your current platforms, plans, stores and integrations still make financial sense at today's scale.
We determine whether the work can be eliminated, simplified or automated.
We model your real shipping profile and evaluate alternative commercial structures.
We calculate build-vs-buy economics and, where appropriate, Devbox develops the alternative.
We connect platform, payments, fulfilment, returns, technology and operational costs to calculate the real economics behind the business.
/ e-commerce /
E-commerce businesses often accumulate operational costs gradually. A new app here. Another integration there. Another market. Another warehouse. Another payment provider. Another manual spreadsheet.
Eventually nobody has a complete view of the real cost of operating the business.
Devbox combines e-commerce expertise, development, integrations, data and automation to analyse both the financial and technical side of the operation.
/ build vs buy /
This is one of the biggest differences between Devbox and a traditional cost consultancy.
When technology is creating unnecessary recurring cost, our development and automation teams can design and implement the replacement.

The recommendation and the implementation live under one roof.

/ the result /
Revenue growth is important. But recurring operating costs reduce profit every month, whether revenue grows or not.
Profit Recovery focuses on recovering margin that already belongs to the business.
You don't always need another sale to increase profit.
/ faq /
Profit Recovery is a Devbox service that finds unnecessary operational costs in a company, implements the improvements and measures the real financial outcome. It is not a report that sits in a drawer: the work continues until the savings are verified against a financial baseline agreed in advance.
