How Pierce Achieved 100% Data Consistency with GA4 Integration
Pierce operates multiple eCommerce stores, including 24MX and Sledstore, catering to motorsports and outdoor enthusiasts. As a rapidly growing online retailer, Pierce needed a centralized analytics solution to track and compare performance across its platforms. While GA4 provided basic insights, it lacked a unified view, making it challenging to optimize operations, improve customer experiences, and drive data-backed decisions at scale.
3 Major Challenges Backing Multi-Store Analytics
Despite using GA4, the client faced critical roadblocks in consolidating and standardizing their data:
- 90% Data Fragmentation: GA4 provided insights only at the individual store level, preventing cross-store performance comparisons.
- Custom Reporting Gaps: The client required custom marketing channel groupings that aligned with the internal business strategy, but GA4's default setup lacked flexibility.
- Inconsistent Metrics: Data inconsistency made it difficult to trust insights, impacting decision-making.
