The importance of cross-channel subscription analytics

Many businesses with mobile subscriptions operate in the Apple App Store and Google Play, which may pose challenges with analytics due to each platform’s unique ecosystems, proprietary policies, and data restrictions. When it becomes difficult for businesses to gather and combine subscription analytics from multiple sources, they are left with a disparate view of business health, leading to slower and less informed decision-making. Moreover, many businesses turn to manual spreadsheets, third-party integrations, and limited analytics tools for subscription reporting–an outdated, complicated, and error-prone process.

This convoluted approach is not sustainable nor scalable, and subscription businesses must look to standardize data aggregation for the success of their futures. As app store subscriptions become an increasingly larger share of the market, businesses must find reliable and efficient ways to synchronize subscription analytics to obtain vital performance metrics and insights and enhance workflows such as entitlements, revenue recognition, and workflow automation.
