ECOMMERCE ANALYTICS
Understanding your data is the key to ecommerce success. Collect and analyze data, report on your results, and visualize your progress.
Data-driver Ecommerce Insights
The truth is in the data. And today, businesses have access to more data than ever before. The challenge is to manage, clean, interpret, and analyze it. Analyzing your data will help you understand your customers, your business, and the available opportunities. It will help you make strategic decisions proactively instead of reactively, and it will enable you to make predictions and plans in an informed way.
Ecommerce analytics are relevant in all parts of an online business throughout the customer journey. Most ecommerce merchants are good at tracking conversion rates and average order value. But to be able to sustain long-term growth, you also need to understand customer lifetime value and when and why churn occurs.
Ecommerce analytics is the process of collecting and analyzing data that impacts your online business. Data is collected from all touchpoints and across the whole customer journey.
This process helps you understand customer behavior, trends, and market shifts, so you can make data-driven decisions to increase sales.

Consider measuring and reporting on how ecommerce is performing as a distribution channel to be a top challenge.
Most ecommerce companies struggle with similar challenges. The three most common are a lack of relevant skills and experience, difficulties defining data models and setting up proper tracking, and data overwhelm, not knowing what data to collect and how to interpret it. Let’s have a closer look at these three areas – and how Vaimo can help:
Relevant Skills and Experience
Ecommerce analytics is an area of expertise that is constantly changing and evolving. If you’re a generalist marketer or simply have a lot of different marketing objectives on your plate, staying up-to-date and at the forefront is almost impossible.

Set Up Ecommerce Tracking
Not knowing what to track or how to track it is one of the most common challenges for ecommerce businesses. And even if you do know, you may not have the time or bandwidth that it takes to define your data models and set up the proper processes for tracking, reporting, and analyzing.
At Vaimo we’re specialists in all things related to ecommerce analytics. Whether you want initial support to eventually learn how to handle tracking and analytics yourself, or you prefer a full-on done-for-you approach, we’re happy to help.
Unified Analytics
Businesses have never had access to more data, but the sheer amount itself presents a challenge. Many companies end up not seeing the forest for all the trees, and struggle to understand what data points actually matter, and what is just adding unnecessary noise.
Gathering, cleaning, management, processing, interpreting, and reporting on ecommerce data requires in-depth knowledge and solid processes. To get the most out of your data, you need a unified and integrated approach. This will give you a complete overview of how your business is currently doing, and where there is room for improvement and growth potential.
We help our customers collect and leverage the right data, and establish the ways of working that are required for a sustainable ecommerce business.
