How to Track Sales Performance with Business Intelligence

5'

As a marketer, data is your most valuable asset. While it can be overwhelming to collect and analyse, it is critical to gather as much of it as possible. Data can reveal insights into your processes, customers, and help you track sales performance, providing precious guidance on where you are and where you need to be.

However, it’s not always easy to acquire the data you need: 44% of e-commerce businesses struggle with effective acquisition tools, and 34% lack confidence in their data for campaign strategy. The key challenge is to sift through the abundance of data available and extract meaningful insights that can drive performance, customer satisfaction, and adaptability. Despite these challenges, leveraging data is crucial for marketers in 2023 and beyond to achieve success. 

Data: The New Gold of the Century

In today’s highly competitive online environment, businesses need to leverage every advantage they can to succeed. 

This is where business intelligence comes in. Business intelligence refers to the use of data and analytics to inform business decisions and strategies. For online brands and retailers, activating business intelligence can be crucial to improve and track sales performance. By collecting and analysing data on customer behavior, market trends, and operational performance, e-merchants can gain insights that enable them to make more informed decisions about pricing, inventory management, marketing strategies, and more. 

However, implementing business intelligence solutions can be a significant challenge. It requires access to high-quality data, sophisticated analytical tools, and making the right interpretation and actions on the insights gained from data analysis. Add to that the fact that if you sell on multiple platforms, you need to measure your e-performance across hundreds of channels. It can be daunting for brands and retailers to track sales performance and monitor them across dozens or even hundreds of channels.

How can you get the meaningful insights you need and easily activate them to improve your online performance?
