MarginBase reads your Prophet 21 live, surfaces what to act on — supplier risk, stockouts, cost drift, Mock POs — and pushes approved changes back. No spreadsheets, no nightly exports.

Buyer's Guide reports live in static PDFs. Replenishment recommendations sit inside SQL. Mock POs get drafted in Excel, lost between buyers, then re-keyed into P21 by hand. The data is fine — the workflow is the bottleneck.
MarginBase sits on top of your existing P21 install and turns those answers into a single, live workspace.
One live table across every supplier, every DC. OTIF trend sparklines, items-at-risk, status pills — and a drawer that pulls 12 weeks of context the moment you click a row.

Left rail: every draft, status, actual-vs-target. Right pane: a clean line editor with live totals and 30-day usage sparklines per SKU. Approved POs push to P21 with one click.

Drop a supplier cost sheet, see the delta vs current P21 line-by-line, route through review, and push approved changes — never re-key a cost again.

MarginBase runs on top of your existing Prophet 21 install — no schema changes, no nightly exports, no consultants required to get the first workspace live.
Whitelist our static IP, paste a read-only MSSQL user, optionally add P21 Web API creds for pushes. We test the handshake before anything saves.
Inventory, sales history, suppliers, ABC classes — pulled on a schedule you control, mapped to MarginBase's data model. Read-only on your P21.
Buyers draft Mock POs, review replenishment, approve cost batches. Approved changes push back to P21 via the Web API — audited, scoped per-buyer, fully reversible.
Pay only for active users + pending invites. No surprise overage on Growth and Scale — soft overflow is trued-up at renewal.
No. The MSSQL pull is read-only — we only SELECT. Pushes happen via the official P21 Web API and only after a buyer or admin explicitly approves a Mock PO or cost batch. Every push is audit-logged, scoped, and reversible.
Most teams are running on real P21 data within a day. You'll need ~30 minutes with a DBA to whitelist our static IP and provision a read-only SQL user; the initial sync runs in the background while your team explores the workspace.
MarginBase supports Prophet 21 v22+ and validates against your schema before saving credentials. For unusual installs — custom tables, regional fields, multi-company configs — we'll work with your DBA during onboarding to map the right sources.
Encrypted at rest with your tenant key. They're write-only after save — never returned in plaintext. Rotating a key takes one click and is captured in the sensitive activity audit log.
Yes. On Scale and Enterprise you can set approval ceilings (dollar amount, per-line, per-day) and per-buyer push budgets. Anything above the threshold routes to an Admin for sign-off before reaching P21.
Growth and Scale support soft overflow — invite people now, get a true-up at renewal. Starter is a hard cap; you'll need to upgrade or remove an inactive user. The Admin → Plan tab shows your seat utilization in real time.
We don't run a self-serve free trial because most value comes from real P21 data, and we'd rather get you connected than show you a sandbox. A demo includes a guided 14-day pilot on your data.
Cancel any time. We export your data on request (CSV + JSON) and retain it for 90 days after cancellation in case you change your mind. We never share it.
A 30-minute call with our team. We connect to your P21 on the call, walk you through Buyer's Guide + Mock PO with real SKUs, and leave you with a 14-day pilot.
