By integrating with an e-commerce platform, e-commerce analytics software can gather data from marketing campaigns, email campaigns, live chat, and other data sources related to the e-commerce store itself. With these reports, business owners can obtain actionable insights to help them improve their business and invest in the strategies that are working. Key Benefits of E-Commerce Analytics Software - Real-time data from a variety of sources related to an e-commerce business - Insight into customer behavior and demographics - Website data based on how users interact with the e-commerce store itself - Data to help refine personalization algorithms to better cater to individual customers ### Why Use E-Commerce Analytics Software? Digital businesses have so much ready access to data that it’s almost silly not to take advantage of it. Since online businesses like e-commerce stores run completely on a variety of software solutions, an analytics solution can easily integrate with and leverage all this data. **Customer analytics —** Businesses can’t exist without customers, and insights into the customer journey, average conversion rate, and purchasing habits are crucial for an e-commerce website. E-commerce analytics software can use customer and purchase data to compile a complete picture of who a business’ customers are and what they are purchasing. Businesses might even be able to gain insight into what time of day customers are most active and when is the best time to introduce new products and offers. **Business intelligence —** Insight into sales and various campaigns are a must for any global e-commerce business. Knowing how the business is performing as a whole and what needs improvement can be invaluable, especially when decisions can affect the entirety of the business. Business intelligence can help e-commerce stores refine their inventory and other business strategies to optimize revenue. **Marketing analytics —** Using digital analytics tools can help determine which marketing efforts are successful (and which aren't) by tracking where customers are coming from and which offers they may have interacted with. These tools may integrate with social media or email marketing tools to track the success of these efforts. E-commerce analytics can also help with A/B testing the e-commerce website by tracking users’ interactions with the site and noting which iteration has the best conversion rate. ### Who Uses E-Commerce Analytics Software? **E-commerce business owners —** Any business owner can benefit from any and all insights into their business. E-commerce business owners, particularly, can use e-commerce analytics to measure the success of specific inventory, which strategies convert the most customers, and who their customers are. Armed with this information, business owners can focus their efforts on their true audience and eliminate or reduce aspects of their business that aren’t performing well. They can also use these insights to attract new customers or cater to customers who need more than they can currently provide. **Website developers —** Website developers can use e-commerce analytics software to create or refine an online store that maximizes usability and customer conversion. By collecting a variety of digital data, e-commerce analytics can track users of the site and how they interact with it. This can help developers create clear pathways and streamlined experiences so customers never feel lost or confused. Any hiccup in the process can cause customers to abandon their cart and leave the site, essentially losing a sale. The easier it is to make a purchase, the more likely users will be to do so. **Marketers —** Digital analytics are also extremely useful for marketers trying to create a brand presence. By tracking how customers arrive at the e-commerce store, marketers can determine which channels are most successful at generating traffic. They can also see customer demographics and which products are most popular in order to create targeted marketing materials. ### E-Commerce Analytics Software Features **Reports —** Reports are the main function of any analytics software, since the analysis of data needs to be presented in a digestible fashion to use it effectively. These reports can often be customized to a specific user’s needs based on the data gathered. Multiple reports can provide a wide variety of insight into the business’ performance. **Integrations —** E-commerce analytics tools often collect data from e-commerce platforms and other software used by e-commerce businesses. By integrating with these tools, e-commerce analytics software can easily have access to the data needed for reports and even analyze data in real time. Integrations can also help analytics tools create recurring reports with little to no input from the user. **Dashboards —** Dashboards provide a means to see a wide variety of information presented in one place. This can make it easy to quickly see if the business is performing well or if there is a problem with minimal digging. Saved reports and real-time data can be checked at a glance so problems can be addressed immediately. **Web analytics —** Web analytics show the performance of the e-commerce website itself, tracking traffic, visitor behavior, and SERP ranking. If the website isn’t performing well, customers will not be able to find the store or effectively make a purchase. A successful e-commerce store must first be a successful website, and these features help achieve that. **Campaign tracking —** A good way to get the word out about an e-commerce brand is to create social media, email, or other digital marketing campaigns. By integrating those efforts with e-commerce analytics tools, users can see which campaigns are most successful and what kind of customers are responding to which efforts. This can help refine future campaigns and target efforts to specific demographics. **Product analytics —** The ability to see the success of individual products can be invaluable for an e-commerce store that offers a wide range of items. Individual product metrics can not only show how well a specific item is selling but also who is buying that product and other useful information to determine if it is worth carrying. ### Trends Related to E-Commerce Analytics Software **E-commerce personalization —** [E-commerce personalization software](https://www.g2.com/categories/e-commerce-personalization) allows stores to personalize each customer’s individual experience.
