One system.
Complete visibility.

A four-part data infrastructure that unifies all revenue, marketing, and expense data into two real-time dashboards — replacing fragmented reporting with a single source of truth.

The Problem

Stride It's marketing and financial data is currently fragmented across Shopify, paid media platforms, and manual logs. This makes it impossible to see true profitability, measure marketing efficiency accurately, or make confident scaling decisions in real time.

🎯

The Solution

A centralized, automated data system that ingests from all sources daily, applies Matchmaker Logic to calculate a reliable Marketing Efficiency Ratio, and surfaces the critical numbers in two purpose-built dashboards — no manual reporting required.

Four pillars.
Built for e-commerce.

Each component serves a distinct purpose, and together they deliver the complete data picture Stride It needs to scale with confidence.

📥

Unified Data Ingestion

Automated daily ingestion of all essential data points — Shopify (Sales & LTV), Paid Media APIs (Meta, Google, TikTok), and manual expense logs including fulfilment and fixed costs. Everything in, every day, automatically.

⚙️

Centralized Processing Hub

A central data engine (BigQuery or Airtable) that cleans, merges, and applies Matchmaker Logic to calculate the Marketing Efficiency Ratio — the most reliable signal of blended marketing performance available.

📊

Marketing Command Dashboard

A daily growth dashboard tracking Traffic & Conversion, Acquisition Health (Blended CAC), and Customer Value (AOV). Built for the marketing team to operate from, not just review.

💰

Financial & Bookkeeping Dashboard

A real-time P&L statement calculating Gross Profit, tracking Operating Expenses (ad spend, software, payroll), and determining true Net Profit. Financial clarity without waiting for the accountant.

Transparent pricing.
Two hosting options.

Choose the hosting model that fits your team. Both options deliver the same full system — the difference is where your data lives and who manages the infrastructure.

Annual Maintenance (Year 2+)

Scope Confirmation Before Build

Before development begins, Balistic Systems and Stride It will confirm data source access, hosting model, and any specific dashboard requirements in writing. No surprises.
