The Problem
Every Retail Business Has a Different Blind Spot.
The biggest challenge for any retail and e-commerce business is understanding how it really sells. A Shopify & DTC brand may struggle to connect ad spend with profit, while a multichannel retailer finds it hard to compare channels that report differently. TikTok Shop sellers and wholesale businesses need to know what they keep after every cost.
You don’t always know how much you are making after the full cost of each sale. Shopify & DTC brands need visibility into CAC, ROAS, true profit, and repeat customers.
Every channel reports revenue, fees and returns in its own way, so the totals never match and nobody can say which channel really pays.
Your biggest buyers are not always your most profitable ones. Discounts, payment terms and fulfilment costs change the ranking once they are counted per account.
GMV grows quickly on TikTok Shop, but creator commissions, samples, ad spend and platform fees decide what is actually left.

Review
From Raw Sales Data to Measurable Action Plan
We had so much information that we could not make sense of, but thanks to Data Analytics Stack, we connected our Shopify store with multiple channels to identify profit margins and the gaps where we were losing money. Within three months, we were able to increase our profit by 10X within a few months.
Our Shopify store was generating revenue but we were still losing profit. Data Analytics Stack, helped us measure channel performance to find gaps that were making us lose profit. We learned the exact channel performance and took decisions that improved our scalability.
We knew our wholesale business was growing, but we didn't know exactly where the revenue was coming from. Data Analytics Stack helped us understand our customers and products that were bringing us the most profit to restock products that are in most demand.

Common Questions
FAQ
Many businesses do. That is why we start with a consultation to understand your business, review your channels and decide on the analytics path. If more than one path applies, we agree which one leads and add the KPIs from the others to the same dashboard.
The four paths cover the most common retail models, not every business. If yours is different, we build the analytics around the questions you need answered and use the closest path as the starting point for KPIs and reporting.
Pricing depends on the number of data sources, channels and analytics services involved rather than on the industry label. We share a clear quote after the strategy call, once we know what needs to be connected.
One team manages your account from start to finish, supported by specialists for each path, such as marketplace fees, creator commissions or wholesale terms, so the analysis reflects how your model really works.
No. The service is managed: we connect the data, run the analysis and explain the results in plain language with recommended actions, so your team can focus on decisions rather than reporting.
A monthly report with the lead KPIs for your path, profit after costs, the main changes since last month and a short list of recommended actions, plus a review call to walk through it.
