Verdict

Tents and packs are strong, but high-margin accessories—camp lights, water filters, and repair kits—are only attached to 42% of qualifying purchases vs a 75% benchmark. That is roughly $14k/month in missed margin with no extra ad spend.

What Helm actually does

Three things no dashboard can do.

CFO-Level Intelligence in Seconds

Pinpoint profit drivers & cash bottlenecks.

Gain immediate, expert-level clarity on exactly where your business is winning and where cash is getting trapped. Helm automatically normalizes and analyzes complex, unformatted data sources — messy P&Ls, AR/AP aging reports, and fragmented expense logs — delivering atomic-level profitability insights without waiting days or weeks on a human analyst's report.

Deep Customer & Order Insight

Unlock hidden revenue & cross-sell opportunities.

Go beyond basic top-line revenue. Helm dives into transaction-level data to discover high-value purchase patterns, common order combinations, and untapped attachment opportunities across every channel — surfacing precision cross-sell strategies that immediately boost average order value.

Historical Context & Strategic Planning

Predict outcomes & replay the strategic 'why'.

Turn passive financial records into active strategic fuel. Helm indexes your executive meeting summaries and business updates alongside live financial data — so you can reference the intent behind previous quarters' decisions and use those documented outcomes to generate accurate, predictive forecasts.
