Magento Business Intelligence
Magento Business Intelligence, or MBI for short, is a powerful analytics tool that will change the way you look at data captured by Magento. Your role will not matter when using MBI, as it will provide valuable insights to anyone using it. This cloud-based system will enable you to see performance indicators or how your eCommerce website is performing. Present as well are numerous customizable dashboards that make the process snappier.
Any important questions you might have like: How is my retention rate compared to the average? What channels will help me get the most loyal customers? And what is the cost-benefit analysis of a customer based on their lifetime value? These will all be answered efficiently via MBI and its intuitive dashboards.
Being a cloud-based system, you can log in from absolutely anywhere. The platform is suited to both businesses and technical users.
Visualize Your Data
Magento Business Intelligence has currently twelve visualization options present. These provide a refreshing way to view progress and trends, each option can be utilized on your use case and have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Scalar reports are used to show single numerical values. The table view is especially useful if there is a need to view large groups of numbers. Variations of the column view are also available if a more straightforward but informative view is needed at the moment. The variations are the simple Column view and the Stacked Column view. MBI is also adding new visualization options, like the new Scatter Plot and Bubble Chart. This coupled with the vast space for Magento Customization allows for a more comprehensive view and in-depth analysis.
There are also some other handy features like:
- Email summaries
- Creating and editing reports
- SQL Report Builder
- Google Analytics data source integration
- User accounts with advanced user permissions
