E-commerce Analytics
Connect the data behind revenue, customers, products and fulfilment
Datazeb helps e-commerce businesses bring together storefront, marketplace, advertising, customer, inventory, fulfilment, payment, and finance data for clearer commercial reporting.
The e-commerce data problem
Every platform has its own version of performance
When those systems are reviewed separately, teams can see individual channel metrics but struggle to connect customer acquisition, product performance, inventory, fulfilment, returns, and real financial outcomes.
- Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, or other storefront platforms
- Marketplaces
- Google / Meta / other advertising platforms
- Payment gateways
- Inventory / warehouse systems
- Fulfilment and shipping platforms
- CRM / email marketing tools
- Finance and accounting systems

In detail

Typical e-commerce challenges
- Revenue totals differ between storefront, payment, and finance systems
- Advertising performance is disconnected from margin and fulfilment cost
- Product performance is hard to compare across channels
- Inventory and online availability are not aligned
- Returns and cancellations are not included consistently in reporting
- Customer acquisition data is separated from repeat-purchase behaviour
- Marketplace and direct-to-consumer reporting use different product structures
- Management reporting requires manual exports from multiple platforms
- Data refreshes are slow or unreliable
- Leaders have plenty of metrics but no trusted commercial view
Revenue and order analyticsUnderstand sales after cancellations, returns and channel complexity
The exact revenue definition should be agreed with finance so commercial reporting aligns with the organisation's accounting logic.
- Gross and net revenue
- Order volume
- Average order value
- Units per order
- Discount activity
- Returns and cancellations
- Revenue by channel
- Revenue by region
- Period-on-period trends
- Order-status analysis
Product and SKU analyticsSee which products are creating demand – and which are tying up inventory
Product master data should be aligned across storefront, marketplaces, inventory, and finance before cross-channel reporting is treated as reliable.
- Revenue by product / SKU
- Units sold
- Sell-through
- Margin where cost data is available
- Return rate
- Stock availability
- Sales velocity
- Slow-moving products
- Category / brand performance
- Channel-specific product performance
Customer and retention analyticsLook beyond first purchase
Where customer-level data is available and appropriate, Datazeb can support analysis around:
- New vs returning customers
- Repeat purchase
- Purchase frequency
- Cohort behaviour
- Customer segments
- Average customer value
- Geographic patterns
- Product affinity
- Retention indicators
Marketing and acquisition reportingConnect advertising activity to commercial outcomes
Advertising platforms are useful for campaign optimisation, but management reporting should also consider actual orders, returns, margin, and customer behaviour.
- Spend by channel / campaign
- Traffic and conversion
- Cost per acquisition where definitions are aligned
- Revenue linked to acquisition source where attribution is available
- New vs returning customer mix
- Product / category performance by channel
- Campaign trend analysis
Inventory and availabilityGrowth is constrained when the right products are unavailable
Outcome: commercial teams can connect product demand with what the business can actually fulfil.
- Stock on hand
- Available inventory
- Stockouts
- Days of stock
- Sales velocity
- Slow-moving stock
- Ageing
- Product availability by channel
- Replenishment indicators
- Inventory vs demand trends
Fulfilment, shipping and returnsThe sale is not complete when the order is placed
These measures help explain why top-line sales performance may not translate into equally strong customer or financial outcomes.
- Order-to-dispatch time
- Fulfilment status
- Shipping status
- Delivery performance where available
- Cancellations
- Returns
- Refunds
- Exception reasons
- Fulfilment provider / warehouse comparison
Marketplace and multi-channel reportingStandardise reporting across channels without losing channel-specific detail
Datazeb can create common product, channel, customer, and order structures while retaining the detail required to understand each channel.
- Direct website sales
- Retail / POS where relevant
- Wholesale or B2B
- Social commerce
- Regional storefronts
