Case Study: Schleich scales global ecommerce reporting with Polar Analytics

Schleich saves 35 hours a month with Polar Analytics

Schleich, a major global toy manufacturer, faced a significant challenge in consolidating and analyzing ecommerce data across its 11 international markets. After migrating to Shopify, its lean team struggled with fragmented insights scattered across multiple platforms, currencies, and Google Analytics properties. This created a major bottleneck, as the sole analyst spent a full day each month manually compiling reports, slowing down decision-making for marketing, merchandising, and finance teams.

To solve this, Schleich implemented Polar Analytics to unify its data from four Shopify stores and numerous ad and marketing platforms. The vendor's platform, including its proprietary Pixel for attribution, provided consolidated dashboards and custom reporting. The results were immediate, saving an estimated 35 hours per month on reporting and providing over 15 stakeholders with self-serve access. Polar Analytics also helped achieve roughly 95% attribution accuracy, uncovering discrepancies in ad platform reporting and enabling the team to confidently reallocate marketing spend by channel and country.
