The Ecommerce Growth Dashboard That Stops Wasting Ad Spend

Stop guessing which campaigns drive profitable repeat purchases. Unify store, ads, email, and payments into one view.

If you’re running ecommerce, you don’t need “more data.” You need a dashboard that answers one thing:

What’s driving profitable growth—and what’s quietly burning budget?

When your store (Shopify), ads (Facebook Ads), lifecycle marketing (Klaviyo), and payments (Stripe) aren’t connected, it’s easy to optimize the wrong thing.

The 3 traps that waste money

  1. ROAS that looks great but doesn’t repeat
    Last-click ROAS can hide low-quality customers who never buy again.

  2. Email “revenue” that’s actually cannibalization
    A discount flow can claim revenue while reducing margin and training customers to wait.

  3. Refunds and disputes that show up too late
    By the time you notice, you’ve already spent the budget.

The growth scorecard (what to monitor daily)

  • Net revenue (after refunds) and contribution margin
  • Blended CAC and payback (ads + email lift, not channel-only)
  • Repeat purchase rate by acquisition cohort
  • LTV by cohort (30/60/90 days)
  • Deliverability + engagement for key flows (early warning)

Why “just pull the APIs” rarely stays simple

Ecommerce stacks change constantly: new campaigns, new products, new discount logic, new attribution rules. DIY breaks on the unglamorous parts: backfills, rate limits, joining identities, and monitoring.

Our managed data platform keeps ingestion reliable and models consistent, so your growth team spends time improving performance—not fixing pipelines.

A fast rollout

Week 1: unify store + ads + email + payments and ship a daily performance view.

Week 2: add cohorts and margin, then alerts (spend spikes, refund spikes, deliverability dips).
