Ecommerce-specific “Recipes”

Each "Recipe" (aka workflow) within your pipeline answers a specific set of questions. Most Ecommerce data pipelines start with classics like:

ECOM

Buyer Segmentation

  • What are our buyer personas?
  • How do those buyers spend over their lifetime?
  • What marketing channels + offers lead buyers to return?

ECOM

Basket Analysis

  • Which products are purchased together in the same order?
  • What about over a buyer's lifetime?
  • How can products be positioned together for maximum AOV?

ECOM

Sales Forecasting

  • What are potential revenue + margin scenarios?
  • How will turning marketing channels up or down impact these scenarios?
  • How will production need to scale to meet demand?

Why use the Ecommerce Data Pipeline?

How much do data pipelines cost?

A pipeline is done-for-you data aggregation and reporting service. Before you request a full quote, here’s what an average fully baked data pipeline will shake out to.

  • We build data pipeline "recipes" in 3-week development sprints. Each sprint costs $5,000.
  • Most clients will build approximately 4-5 recipes as part of a pipeline, for a total development cost of ~$20,000.
  • After development is complete, CIFL can maintain your pipeline + offer analysis advisory for $1k-2k per month, depending on needs.

Our pipeline service is significantly less than the cost of the software stack + data analyst to do this internally.
