Do I need engineering resources to connect Google Analytics and POS Systems?

The problem

Conversions dropped 23%. Everyone has a theory. Was it the ad creative? The landing page? A pricing change? Without cross-platform data, you're just guessing.

Google Analytics tracks sessions and pageviews, user demographics and geography, traffic source and medium. POS Systems tracks transaction data, product-level sales, customer identification. Neither sees the other. That blind spot costs you money every day.

How askotter fixes this

askotter pulls Google Analytics and POS Systems into one data lake. With both data sets unified, it can test hypotheses against data from every tool and isolate the real cause. Self-healing agents adapt as your data shifts, so the analysis stays accurate without manual tuning.
