When the team merged their Zendesk customer service data with the BI platform, they tracked complaint patterns against promo periods.

You can literally track how often customers touch a product but leave without buying.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data flows from these sensors into your BI system through APIs or IoT integration hubs.

Even then, it looks like you need to invest some time and effort to set BI that will work for you, not against you. My sincere recommendation is the following: if you feel it\u2019s too much and you don\u2019t have enough resources to address each step as it should be, assign it to the people who know this inside out with the projects successfully done and real client\u2019s feedback.
