Who uses Optialy

Small online shops, retailers selling on several channels, and larger teams with their own analysts.

Online stores and DTC brands

The answers are somewhere in Shopify, Meta and your spreadsheets. Nobody has time to dig them out.

Ask in plain English and get the number in minutes, with the next step already drafted.

Multi-channel retailers

Your store, Amazon, wholesale and ads each count sales differently, so the totals never match.

One set of definitions across every channel, so everyone works from the same numbers.

Retailers with a data team

Your analysts spend the week on report requests and fixing broken pipelines.

Optialy takes the routine questions and the upkeep, so your analysts can spend their time on bigger projects.

Three jobs you would otherwise hire for

Optialy does the data engineering, analysis and machine learning work behind your reports and forecasts.

Data engineering

  • Connects to any system, database or file your store uses, without copying the data
  • Cleans and joins orders, ad spend, stock and finance records
  • Keeps reports working when a platform changes a field

Usually a data engineer. In Canada that’s about CAD 113K a year.

Analysis

  • Answers questions that need several systems at once
  • Finds out why a number went up or down
  • Works out margin, ad return and repeat buyers on every order

Usually a data analyst, or hours of someone’s week.

Machine learning

  • Builds a demand forecast for each product
  • Keeps a model only if it beats a simple benchmark on weeks it hasn’t seen
  • Retrains as new sales come in and reports how accurate it is

Usually a data scientist or machine learning engineer.

Setting it up takes three steps

You don’t need to write code or SQL, or bring in a data team.

  1. 1

    Connect

    Sign in to your store, ad accounts, inventory and accounting tools, or upload a spreadsheet. Your own database works too. Optialy reads the data without copying it anywhere.

  2. 2

    Confirm

    Optialy suggests what your key numbers mean. Tick the ones that are right and fix the rest.

  3. 3

    Ask

    Type a question here, in Slack or in ChatGPT. Approve the suggested action with one click.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

ChatGPT writes and summarises well, but it doesn’t know how your company counts sales, and it often works from a sample of your data. You can still use ChatGPT, because Optialy works inside it.

“What was our net revenue last month?”

ChatGPT with a sales export$1.42M

Counted wholesale orders and used totals from before refunds. No sources shown.

Optialy$1.18M

Your finance team’s definition, applied to every Shopify and NetSuite record, with sources linked.
