Pace Athletic, a leading athletic footwear and apparel retailer, faced a critical hurdle in their pursuit of profitable growth. Despite their strong market presence, the team found themselves operating without the precise data and real-time insights needed to truly optimize their e-commerce operations. 

They were lacking real-time visibility and accurate attribution, which translated into inefficient ad spend, wasted resources, and delayed responses to underperforming products. This meant potential revenue was being left on the table, and valuable marketing budgets weren't consistently delivering the most efficient returns. 

The need was clear: Pace Athletic required a solution that could provide granular insights into product performance and marketing effectiveness, allowing them to make agile, data-driven decisions that directly impacted their bottom line.
