Analytics Platform Migration
We help e-commerce companies migrate from expensive SaaS analytics (like GA4 360 or Amplitude) to self-hosted Umami. The result: full data ownership, zero sampling, and significantly lower analytics costs.
This engagement model illustrates our approach, methodology, and typical outcomes for this type of project.

Data Sampling
Unsampled data at any traffic volume
The Problem
Many growing e-commerce companies hit a wall with SaaS analytics: data sampling degrades reporting accuracy above certain traffic thresholds, per-seat pricing punishes growth, consent-mode changes create blind spots in key markets, and raw data access requires expensive add-ons. Ad-blocker suppression means a significant percentage of visitors are invisible to analytics.
How We Solve It
A self-hosted Umami instance deployed on existing VPS infrastructure provides zero data sampling, full data ownership, no third-party consent dependencies, and server-side collection to bypass ad blockers. All events are accessible through dashboards and APIs without additional costs.
