Analytics and reporting. How Elasticsearch helps make better business decisions.
In the world of e-commerce, where competition never sleeps, quick and accurate decision-making is crucial. Here, Elasticsearch comes to aid, not only gathering data but also allowing it to be analyzed and interpreted in a way that truly aids business development.
Imagine having access to a tool that in real-time shows which products are most popular, which promotions are most effective, and how customer preferences are changing. Elasticsearch allows for the creation of advanced reports and dashboards that can provide all this information almost instantly. This enables you to quickly respond to changing market conditions, adjusting offers and marketing strategies.
For example, the analysis of the effectiveness of email campaigns. Elasticsearch can show which messages attracted the most attention and which specific offers led customers to make purchases. This data not only helps you understand what works but also how you can improve your future campaigns to be even more effective.
Another key aspect is understanding the path a customer takes on the website before making a purchase. Elasticsearch can analyze these paths, helping to identify any barriers that might discourage customers from making purchases. This could be, for example, a complicated purchase process or a page that loads too slowly.
Additionally, thanks to the flexibility of Elasticsearch, you can tailor your reports and analyses to specific business needs. Want to know how the weather affects the sales of certain products? Or are you interested in how certain days of the week or times of day affect store traffic? Elasticsearch enables deep insights into such data, allowing you not only to respond to current events but also to predict and plan future actions.
With Elasticsearch, an e-commerce business is like a well-oiled machine — there is a lot of data, but with the right tools for analysis, each decision can be thoughtful and based on a solid information foundation. This means that every move is more targeted, and investments yield better results.

Implementing Elasticsearch in ECAT eCommerce. Accelerating data searching and analysis
In ECAT eCommerce, where the dropshipping market pace is constantly fast, it is essential to have technology that enables lightning-fast searching and analysis of a vast amount of data. Our answer to these challenges is the implementation of Elasticsearch, our modern real-time search system. This solution revolutionizes the way our software users can search, browse, and analyze products, increasing their satisfaction and the operational efficiency of our platform.
Elasticsearch, being an open-source search and analytics engine, allows for lightning-fast searching and analysis of data, whether it concerns products, customer reviews, or transaction histories. Introducing this system has significantly improved both data management and business processes.
One of the key implementations of this system is its use in our Manager 3.0, which significantly speeds up data loading. This change allows for faster and more effective product management, especially visible when working with large amounts of data, where users can easily manage from 500 to 1000 products almost instantly. Demonstrating this speed on a developer version shows how quickly you can filter and browse products, greatly simplifying daily operations.
Our ambitious plans for Elasticsearch do not end with Manager 3.0. We also plan to implement this mechanism in Aderlo Marketplace, which will allow us to better tailor offers to the needs of our customers and increase market competitiveness.
We are preparing for another powerful update, which will integrate Elasticsearch even more with our systems. We are convinced that these changes will allow our platform not only to operate faster but also to provide deeper data analysis and better match products to user expectations.
Thanks to Elasticsearch, ECAT eCommerce is at the forefront of innovation in the e-commerce industry, redefining what it means to be fast, efficient, and adapted to the needs of the dropshipping market. Stay tuned for our progress, as we will soon introduce further innovations that will provide even better experiences for our users.
