What's 'Insights'?

Last Update:

What is Insight?

"Insight" is a feature that provides detailed reports on the purchasing behaviors of customers within a particular segment from multiple angles.

If no customer segment is selected, it displays data for all customers in the store.

By setting an aggregation period, you can examine characteristics based on the order data within that specified timeframe.

Specifications for Period Filter

You can define the period of order data used to generate insights. It's crucial to understand that this does not involve filtering by specific customers.

1M / 3M / 6M / 12M: These options use the current date as a reference, corresponding to "the last month," "the last three months," etc. Specifically, data is aggregated from the beginning of the month one month back from today. For example, if today is July 14, 2024, choosing "1M" would include order data from June 1 to July 13, 2024.

Custom: You have the option to specify custom dates and times for more tailored insights.

  • Order date/time: Analyzes when customers are most likely to make purchases, broken down by month, week, and time of day.

  • FAQ

    How do you define the bin / bucket size for the 'distribution' report? Can I change it?

    We employ a statistically validated method to construct bins/buckets tailored to your data, ensuring optimal fit and accuracy. Currently, the customization of bucket sizes is not available.

    What's the limitation of 'past period data', when using filters for order period?

    It's essential to understand that customer segments are dynamic, with daily changes in their composition. A straightforward example is the "new customer" segment, defined by a purchase count of one. Once customers make their second purchase, they automatically exit this segment.

    Our 'features' reports focus exclusively on the current makeup of each segment. Thus, individuals who were part of a segment in the past but aren't as of the reporting date won't be included, even if the analysis period is set retrospectively. The essence of these reports is to shed light on the present customer base.

    As of now, our platform doesn't support historical segment features analysis. To keep track of segment features changes over time, we recommend regularly downloading reports. We're eager to hear your suggestions and feedback to enhance our service further!
