The Challenges

The underlying problem was compounded by operational complexity:

  • Fragmented data sources - Data was fragmented across Shopify, subscription platforms, marketing tools, 3PL/fulfillment systems, and manual COGS spreadsheets.
  • Catalog complexity - Bundles, variants, promotions, and frequent SKU changes created reporting ambiguity.
  • Inconsistent definitions - Revenue, margin, and cohort metrics were defined differently across teams.
  • Lack of data governance framework - No standardized data model, identifiers, or governance process existed to maintain consistent, trusted reporting across systems.

The Solution

Saras Analytics partnered with Momentous to create a single, trusted analytics foundation that unified all critical business data and made it immediately usable for decision-making.

  • Consolidated Shopify orders, subscription data, marketing performance, 3PL/fulfillment data, and cost spreadsheets into one governed data environment
  • Standardized product and SKU definitions using global identifiers to remove catalog ambiguity
  • Automated daily refreshes with data quality monitoring to eliminate manual reporting
  • Implemented certified metrics (revenue, margin, cohorts) through a shared semantic layer
  • Delivered executive dashboards for channel performance, subscription vs OTP insights, and growth trends
  • Enabled cohort analytics and an attribution input layer to connect marketing activity to outcomes
  • Designed the foundation to support future use cases like contribution-margin and SKU-level profitability

The Outcomes

  • Time-to-Insight improved from manual reporting cycles to near-real-time refreshes.
  • Teams aligned on shared datasets and consistent metric definitions.
  • Analytics adoption expanded across business functions with improved self-service access.
  • Leadership gained clearer visibility into business performance and growth drivers.
  • The foundation positioned the business for future margin optimization initiatives.
