Business Intelligence & Reporting for DTC E-Commerce Brands.

Every number you run the business on, in one place you trust. Designed and shipped for DTC e-commerce brands, not generic templates with dtc e-commerce brands swapped in.

Why this matters

Why DTC e-commerce brands need BI & Reporting built around their unit economics.

Most DTC e-commerce brands are operating on sites or software stacks built three to five years ago for a different version of the buyer. A slow, theme-bloated storefront tanks Core Web Vitals and conversion, especially on mobile where most traffic lands. The infrastructure decisions that compound are the ones made with the operator in the room, not the ones made in a vacuum.

Inparlor's Business Intelligence & Reporting engagement for DTC e-commerce brands reflects that. We pull the numbers you run the business on out of the spreadsheets and disconnected dashboards and into one place your whole team trusts. The deliverables below are scoped against the unit economics, support tickets per 100 orders of 8-20.

Where most agencies treat DTC e-commerce brands as another vertical to learn on, we treat the vertical as the starting point. Inventory, orders, and customer data don't sync cleanly between the store, 3PL, and ERP, so stock and statuses drift. We will tell you on the first call which of those constraints is binding and which is solvable inside the engagement.

Our DTC E-Commerce Brands-specific approach

How BI & Reporting runs in DTC e-commerce brands, operationally.

  • KPI definitions before dashboards

    We pin down exactly what each metric means, revenue, churn, margin, and who owns it, before building a single chart. Half the dashboards in the world are ignored because nobody agreed on the definitions first.

  • Warehouse and dbt models underneath

    Data lands in a real warehouse and gets transformed through versioned, tested dbt models, so the numbers are consistent and traceable. The dashboard sits on a foundation, not on a fragile spreadsheet export.

  • Dashboards people actually open

    We build for the decision the viewer has to make, not for every metric we can plot. A focused view someone checks every Monday beats an exhaustive one that gets bookmarked and never reopened.

  • Scheduled distribution to the inbox

    The numbers get pushed, a weekly digest or an alert when a metric moves, so leadership sees them without logging into a tool. Reporting reaches people where they already are instead of waiting to be pulled.
