Root Cause Analysis: POS Systems + Shopify
Why did this metric change?
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.
POS Systems tracks transaction data, product-level sales, customer identification. Shopify tracks orders and revenue, product performance, customer profiles and segments. Neither sees the other. That blind spot costs you money every day.
How askotter fixes this
askotter pulls POS Systems and Shopify 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.
A ranked list of causes with confidence scores. Not theories. Evidence.
