Overview

Analytics for Retail and eCommerce

Retailers today generate data from an ever-growing list of sources: eCommerce platforms, physical POS terminals, inventory management systems, marketing automation tools, customer loyalty programs, and third-party marketplaces. Each system offers its own reporting, but none provides the unified view that merchandisers, marketers, and operations leaders need to make coordinated decisions. The result is conflicting metrics, delayed reporting, and missed opportunities to respond to changing customer behavior.

Adapter builds analytics solutions purpose-designed for the retail operating model. We start by mapping your key performance indicators across the customer lifecycle, from acquisition cost and conversion rate through average order value, repeat purchase rate, and lifetime value. We then build data pipelines that pull from your eCommerce platform (Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, or headless), POS system, inventory and warehouse management tools, Google Analytics, and paid advertising platforms. Everything flows into a unified data warehouse where we model the relationships between marketing spend, customer behavior, and inventory movement.

The dashboards and reports we deliver are designed for action, not just observation. Merchandisers see product performance by category, channel, and region with drill-down to SKU-level detail. Marketers track campaign ROI with attribution models that account for multi-touch customer journeys. Operations teams monitor inventory turnover, stockout risk, and fulfillment speed in real time. We also build automated alerting that flags anomalies, such as a sudden drop in conversion rate, unexpected inventory shrinkage, or a marketing campaign that is burning budget without producing sales, so your team can respond before small issues become big problems.

Industry Challenges

Problems we solve

01

Disconnected Sales Channels

Revenue data from online storefronts, physical stores, marketplaces, and wholesale channels rarely reconcile cleanly, making it hard to understand true performance.

02

Attribution Complexity

Customers interact with multiple touchpoints before purchasing. Last-click attribution overstates some channels and understates others, leading to misallocated ad spend.

03

Inventory Visibility Gaps

Without real-time inventory analytics, merchants cannot tell which products are trending, which are approaching overstock, and which will stock out this week.

What We Build

Our approach

Omnichannel Data Warehouse

We build a unified data model that reconciles sales from online, in-store, marketplace, and wholesale channels into a single source of truth with consistent metrics.

Multi-Touch Attribution Models

We implement data-driven attribution that distributes credit across the entire customer journey, giving marketers an accurate picture of which channels and campaigns drive revenue.

Real-Time Inventory Analytics

Live dashboards track inventory levels, sell-through rates, and days-of-supply across all locations, with automated alerts for stockout risk and overstock conditions.

Results

What you can expect

18% improvement in marketing ROI

Multi-touch attribution reveals underperforming channels and reallocates budget to campaigns that actually drive sales, not just clicks.

25% reduction in overstock markdowns

Inventory analytics identify slow-moving products early, enabling proactive promotions or transfers before seasonal markdown events.

Same-day access to cross-channel performance data

Automated pipelines replace manual spreadsheet consolidation, giving leadership accurate data by morning instead of mid-month.
