For Finance Teams

Infrastructure cost intelligence for finance teams

Your CFO wants unit economics. Engineering is mid-sprint. CloudShip gives you infrastructure COGS by customer without the Slack thread.

The Problem

The engineering request never ends well

You need infrastructure COGS by Tuesday. Engineering is mid-sprint until Thursday. Math doesn't work.

Hey team! Need infrastructure COGS data for the board deck next week. Can someone pull:

  • • Cloud spend breakdown by service
  • • COGS per customer
  • • Projected costs at 10K users

They're mid-sprint, you're mid-board-prep

Engineering is shipping features and putting out fires. Your finance deadline doesn't make it into their sprint planning. The data request sits in Slack for weeks.

When it arrives, it's not what you need

You get AWS spend by service. You needed COGS by customer segment. Back to Slack: "Can we break this down differently?" Another week disappears.

Next quarter, same cycle

Investor update? Slack engineering. Budget planning? Slack engineering. CFO question? Slack engineering. Both teams are exhausted by the dependency.

Break the cycle

CloudShip connects to your infrastructure once (read-only, secure). COGS attribution, unit economics, projections—in your dashboard every morning. Engineering stays focused on shipping. You get your data. Both teams win.

The Solution

Get the breakdown you actually need

CloudShip turns infrastructure spend into finance language. Customer-level COGS, segment margins, scaling projections. What your CFO asks for, automatically.

Financial Statement
October 2024
Income Statement
Acme SaaS Inc.
Revenue$200,000
Cost of Goods Sold$50,382
Infrastructure$50,382
Gross Profit$149,618
Margin: 74.8%

Your AWS bill doesn't answer finance questions

$50K on EC2 this month. Great. But what's COGS per customer? Which features cost what? What happens at 10K users? Your bill can't tell you.

CloudShip breaks it down the way you need it

Same $50K, now attributed by customer segment, product feature, and business unit. COGS per customer, gross margins, cost drivers—all automatic, all in your dashboard.

CFO asks a question, you have the answer

"What's unit economics?" Check dashboard. "Margins by customer size?" Right here. "Costs at 10x scale?" Already modeled. Questions you used to dread are now instant.

Install once, never ask again

Engineering installs Station and runs agent templates locally (takes 5 minutes). Every morning: fresh COGS attribution, unit economics, scaling projections. Zero Slack messages. Zero follow-ups. Just data.
