Building a Scalable Analytics Platform for E-Commerce

Building a Scalable Analytics Platform for E-Commerce

April 30, 2025

E-commerce generates massive amounts of dataβ€”from page views to checkouts to customer behavior. At Essid Solutions, we build analytics platforms that turn raw data into insights across marketing, product, and operations teams.


πŸ“Š Why E-Commerce Needs Scalable Analytics

  • Track customer journeys across channels
  • Measure product performance and conversion rates
  • Optimize campaigns based on real-time metrics
  • Detect anomalies like fraud or cart abandonment early

Without scalable infrastructure, reports become slow, inaccurate, or incomplete.


βš–οΈ Core Components of an E-Commerce Analytics Stack

  1. Data Ingestion – From Shopify, Magento, GA4, Facebook Ads, Stripe, etc.
  2. Event Collection – Via Segment, PostHog, or Snowplow
  3. Data Storage – Snowflake, BigQuery, or S3-based lakehouse
  4. Transformations – dbt for business logic and clean datasets
  5. BI Layer – Power BI, Metabase, Looker Studio, Superset
  6. Alerting – Revenue drop or spike detection

πŸ’Ό Use Case: Apparel E-Commerce Brand

A fashion brand selling in 3 countries wanted better insights into campaign performance. We:

  • Ingested orders and ads data into BigQuery
  • Modeled attribution and customer LTV using dbt
  • Delivered product performance dashboards in Looker Studio
  • Added alerts for low-stock and sudden sales drops

Result: Improved ad ROAS by 25% and reduced out-of-stock events by 40%.
