Which customers are about to stop coming back?
By the time you notice a regular has gone quiet, they have booked somewhere else. The warning signs were spread across your accounts: a complaint, a missed visit, a failed card payment. No single tool saw all of it.
How askotter handles it
askotter reads Meta Ads and SAP side by side, so it can spot the signs that a customer is drifting away.
A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our PPC management work.
How Meta Ads and SAP records line up
Meta Ads and SAP both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.
Shared between the two: the customer email address.
What customer retention uses from each
Customer retention needs repeat behaviour from the same customer over time.
From Meta Ads that means the campaign that recruited each customer. From SAP it means reorder intervals per account.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Meta Ads on its own
Meta sees who saw and clicked an ad. It cannot see a sale its pixel missed, and lead-form contacts stop being visible to it once they leave Facebook or Instagram.
Timing. Meta reports conversions under its own attribution setting, seven days after a click and one day after a view by default.
Access. The Meta Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
SAP on its own
SAP holds the booked order, the invoice and the customer master. It has no record of the marketing that produced the order.
Timing. SAP data usually reaches outside systems in scheduled extracts, so it runs as current as the extract schedule your ERP team sets.
Access. Read-only OData services or scheduled exports set up with your ERP team.
