NetSuite Analytics Warehouse not only provides the ability to load NetSuite ERP data quickly and efficiently into Oracle’s Autonomous Datawarehouse and make it available for reporting via Oracle Analytics Cloud, but it also provides a wide variety of connectors to external data sources to enable loading other data sets into the same architecture. This allows NSAW to potentially become a central hub of reporting and analytics for your organization.

This ability to connect to other data sources, combined with its very attractive price point and low barrier to entry thanks to its ease of use and low learning curve, makes implementing NSAW the best strategic option for establishing an enterprise level analytics solution for NetSuite customers.

This series of blog posts will spotlight specific data sources that can be added to NSAW and discuss specifics of doing so.

Shopify

Shopify is an e-commerce platform that allows online retailers to manage their entire selling experience. Shopify provides customizable interfaces for the online store, but also provides solutions for the entire retail process, including order and payment management, shipping, and marking and engagement tools.

Shopify therefore has a wealth of useful information related to all those activities.

NSAW’s Shopify connector provides a direct pathway to load that data into your data warehouse and make it available to analyze with NSAW. MindStream Analytics can help you create the connection, define the data loads, and create the subject areas of data. This gives you with a process that can refresh daily to make Shopify data available within NSAW so that you can take advantage of the advanced visualization options and rich feature set of NSAW.

Since these data models are being built from scratch, we have the opportunity with each client to customize what, how, and when we are pulling the data. Want to blend data that the standard Shopify reports won’t let you? We can build processes that will. Want to mash this data up with data that was loaded from the NetSuite ERP? Show us how to relate or map the elements together and we can build datasets that allow reporting and filtering data sourced from one system alongside data from the other.

Whether you are looking to implement a new NSAW instance or you are looking to extend your existing environment, we can help you bring your Shopify data into your NSAW instance in a way that works best for you.
