business-users to get actionable insights out of their data.
Value Prop

The (main) problem:

issues

Positioning by B2B Industry
The (main) problem: business is straddled with clunky, legacy systems on one
side and newer SaaS products on the other – customization becomes expensive,
fast.
Typical data sources connected:
Magento & other transactional sources (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server,
Redshift)
ERP systems (API)
POS systems (API)
Netsuite, Quickbooks
File Upload (lots of them)

• (Import API is key here): Provide a truly flexible solution to handle various
systems

departments

the technical headaches

Pain-points Solved

My data is in so many places, it’s such a daunting task to even think about starting
to pull it together – forget analyzing it!
Different teams have different definitions of metrics or KPIs – we don’t have a single-
source-of-truth as a basis to begin to define what success means for our business.
I spend more time extracting, validating and crunching numbers, than I do actually
analyzing the data and making decisions based off of it.
What to listen for

What to listen for
• Frustrated with the inability to access data from across the organization and, as a result,
make decisions based on guesswork
• Frozen in their decision-making processes because they are unable to quickly access
information
• Limited to low-level business reporting
• Inability to conduct ad-hoc analysis (quickly) or form conclusions and put a data-driven
business strategy together without significant human capital
• Struggle to remain competitive in innovative markets due to lack of information (windows of
opportunity pass while they wait to gather and analyze data)

Packaging: Tiers, Pricing &
Offerings

granular level

Sales Enablement for Partners

Get in touch
Schedule an in-depth demo with our BI Solutions Consultant & BI Solutions Executive. The purpose of this demo is to provide you with
the selling points and data connection process you need to communicate to the client to get them set up in our Trial period.
Connect your client’s Magento database (via our MySQL integration)
Following the demo call, our BI Solutions Executive will enable a Magento BI Account for your client.
• You will specify which email address to enable the account under – either yours or the client’s; this will depend on who is making the
database connection. We’ll also make sure the other data sources are connected prior to launch.
• You will get a link via email that will prompt you to follow the steps to get connected (approx. 10 minutes is needed)
Implementation Period
Once we see the connection come through, our Sales Engineer will get to work on the implementation. We’ll build out an initial set of
metrics, reports and dashboards and will get the foundation of the account ready. (approx. 5-7 days is needed on our end)
Launch Call
Upon completion of the implementation, we’ll schedule a launch call with you. We will walk you through the back-end, dashboards and
various report builders that will all be populated with your client’s data. In intention is make sure you are comfortable with the platform,
and can demo/pitch it to the client yourself. If you prefer to simply include the client on the launch call, that’s fine too! At the point of the
launch call, the trial period begins. You will work with the BI Solutions Executive to agree on a timeline (typically 7-14 days).
General Process Guidelines

Best-practices: Recommended Analysis

Best Practices – a little more granular
Expected LTV Analysis – forecasting the lifetime value of customers as they place more orders is important
to businesses of any size.
Coupon Code Analysis – understand coupon performance to segment your orders and better understand
your customers.
Product Affinity Analysis - Discover what products to market to the appropriate customer segment in order
to maximize repeat orders.
Category Analysis – For select categories, display quantity sold and revenue and identify which
combinations of categories your customers are purchasing over their lifetime.
Inventory Analysis – Dig into inventory vs. customer demand - match customer demand to generate more
orders and revenue.
Returns Analysis – Identify the products that generate more returns than others to improve product quality
or remove products that hurt CLV (also very relevant to B2B & B2C as a segment to channel analysis).

Google Analytics
Connecting GA to Magento BI allows for data manipulation and the ability to
combine GA data with transactional DB and other 3rd party sources
Example: You have multiple ad campaigns for Q2 2017 with different names
and the campaigns are the result of a specific marketing initiative.
• Connect your GA data to the Magento BI data warehouse
• Create a new column that finds the campaign names in question
• Return the Q2 initiative name “X”
• Allows you to take “total time on site by ad campaign” and join it against
“total $ spent on campaign” from Facebook ads (for example) to get the
whole ROI picture
• Take it a step further and join with Magento transactional data…
