Shopify stores generate a lot of data—but that makes it difficult to get a sense of the business quickly. It is essential to create automations that get you the data you need just in time, without spending days in collecting and cleaning data.
Data automation is very similar to workflow automation (what Zapier does) but you automate the way data is collected, cleaned, and analyzed.
Most e-commerce businesses make the same kind of decisions and look at the same kind of data. It does not make sense for your store to spend hours collecting and cleaning data to find (say) your Blended CAC... if another store has already done it for their store.
This is the premise on which Airboxr is built.
Airboxr's Hops—predesigned data automations—import data from Shopify, your ad channels, and your email platforms, standardize the data, conduct analysis, and paste the results into an embedded spreadsheet.
Why spreadsheets?
Because we know you may want to manipulate data further for your own calculations. By bringing them into a spreadsheet, Airboxr helps you continue your work without switching platforms.
What kind of data should you be automating?
Extract data and insights from your Shopify store to assess your high-impact levers.
Generate reports that provide you with a health-check for your marketing operations.
Enable your operations team with the right performance metrics to optimize your inventory, warehousing, and shipping.
You can.
If you are a Shopify Plus customer, you can use Shopify Flow to automate some workflows, which is different from automating the data flow. Shopify Flow will help you automate some operational tasks but will not provide any insights for your decision-making.
Zapier can automate some of your data flows, for instance, importing orders data into a spreadsheet. This has two major drawbacks though:
Airboxr takes away the painful task of collecting and cleaning data for you, so you can focus on what matters most.
