Welcome to Ecometry
Ecometry is Shalion's command centre for e-commerce measurement. In short, it keeps track of who we measure for, where products are sold, what we watch, and how the numbers are cleaned, configured and delivered. The guide below explains each area in everyday terms.
What each area is for
Clients
— The brands we measure for.Every company that hires us — like Coca Cola — lives here. We set up who they are, the markets they care about, and how their products, regions and competitors are organised so the rest of the platform knows what to watch.
Retailers
— Where products are sold.The master list of shops and websites — supermarkets, marketplaces, pharmacies — together with their individual stores and how those stores are grouped into regions. This is the 'where' behind every price and availability number.
Seeds API
— What we keep an eye on.The starting points we monitor across the web: search terms, product pages and data feeds. Projects bundle the work, subscriptions decide what gets collected and how often, and seeds are the individual things we track.
Tasks
— The work in motion (being replaced by Seeds API).The day-to-day operational jobs that keep data flowing — what is queued, running or finished. Tasks is being phased out in favour of the new Seeds API over the coming weeks, so new work is gradually moving there.
Codification
— Turning messy data into clean facts.Raw scraped data arrives inconsistent and incomplete. Here it is matched to the right brand, category and promotion — mostly automatically using rules, with the operations team correcting by hand where needed. Manual corrections always win, so every report and dashboard can be trusted.
Product
— The catalogue and its prices.The products being measured — our clients' SKUs, the retailers' store SKUs, and how they map together — including recommended retail prices broken down by market, region and store.
Bulk
— Big changes, made fast.Tools to import or update large amounts of information in one go, instead of editing records one by one — ideal for onboarding a new client or refreshing a whole catalogue.
Settings
— The control room.The shared configuration everything else relies on: dashboard applications, targets, timeframes, categories, country groups and the business rules that keep results consistent.
