Orders, inventory, shipments, and returns scattered across dozens of applications make it nearly impossible to build a unified analytical view without expensive, custom data engineering projects.
Batch exports and scheduled CSV dumps mean your analytics team is always working with outdated information. By the time data reaches your warehouse, the window for timely operational decisions has already closed.
Every custom ETL pipeline your engineering team builds for a commerce application is another integration to monitor, maintain, and fix when APIs change. This overhead pulls engineers away from strategic analytics and data science work.

Export commerce events as they happen, not hours or days later. Build dashboards and analytics in BigQuery that reflect your current operational state, reducing data latency from daily batch cycles to minutes.
Receive consistently structured data regardless of the source system. Pipe17's canonical commerce data model standardizes how orders, inventory, shipments, and fulfillments are represented, so your data team spends time on insights instead of data wrangling.
Eliminate the burden of building and maintaining custom integrations for every commerce application. Pipe17's managed pipelines handle upstream API changes and system updates automatically, freeing your engineering team for higher-value data science and analytics work.
