1The Challenge

The brand was running paid ads across Shopify, Meta, Google, and Amazon but had no unified view of performance. Manual reporting took 2+ days monthly, and they couldn't account for seasonality when evaluating ROAS.

2Our Solution

Designed a comprehensive analytics system that unifies data from all sales and advertising channels, normalizes for seasonality (Spring/Summer vs Fall/Winter peak), and provides weekly actionable insights to executive and operational stakeholders.

Our Approach

1

Mapped all data sources: Shopify, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Amazon Ads, GA4, and P&L data

2

Built data unification layer with analyst-managed SKU mapping and category reconciliation

3

Created seasonality-adjusted cohorts for accurate year-over-year comparisons

4

Designed dashboard showing Sales, Orders, AOV, Funnel metrics, Gross & Net Profit, and Ad Efficiency

5

Established ongoing retainer for weekly insights summaries and dashboard maintenance
