the problem

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 Shopify 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 conversion rate optimization work.

matching the records

How Shopify and SAP records line up

Shopify 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 Shopify that means days since each customer's last order. From SAP it means reorder intervals per account.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less

Shopify on its own

Shopify sees the order and the landing page. It has no view of the ad impressions, emails or searches that came before that session.

Timing. Shopify writes each order the moment it is placed, including the landing page and referring site of the session that bought.

Access. Read-only access through the Shopify Admin API, approved from the store admin.

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.
