Our take
In order for independent brands to grow within the digital market, marketing teams must rely on efficient analysis of eCommerce data, so they are able to compete against major enterprises. Polar Analytics has developed a data centralising platform that enables Shopify marketers to integrate and analyse complex data into one easy-to-use interface.
With a range of subscription-based offerings, the company is trusted by over 1,700+ Shopify brands, including Hero Cosmetics, Soko Glam, and AYBL. Its comprehensive dashboard enables brands to make quick decisions, fuelled by actionable marketing insights delivered by its full-stack business intelligence solution.
The Kima Ventures-backed company remains focused on further application development and expanding its workforce. Though the company’s platform integrates solely within the Shopify ecosystem, it is looking to expand its reach to encompass all eCommerce CMS's on the market. With this, Polar Analytics has plenty of growth opportunities as it continues to expand on a global scale.
