How to centralize global eCommerce reporting
Centralize global eCommerce reporting by unifying cross-border infrastructure into a single operating layer that standardizes data capture, identifiers, and timelines across markets. Implement one integration for payments, logistics, tax, and orders with automatic country rules, currency normalization, and consistent metrics. Consolidate reconciliations and payouts, enforce governance, and expose region-level dashboards. This simplifies compliance, reduces duplicated systems, improves auditability, and enables faster market expansion without proliferating local tooling or manual processes.
FAQ
### How does a single operating layer simplify cross-border infrastructure for reporting?
It replaces country-specific tools with one integration that applies local rules automatically, consolidates data into a unified schema, normalizes currencies and timestamps, and exposes standardized metrics and reconciliations from one dashboard.
### What data should I consolidate to make global reports comparable?
Centralize orders, payments, taxes, shipping events, refunds, chargebacks, fees, and payouts. Normalize currencies, timestamps, and identifiers, and maintain calculation evidence and audit logs to ensure consistent, comparable metrics across markets.
### Do I still need separate tools or dashboards for each country?
No. A centralized operating layer can serve all countries while generating country-compliant outputs. When local portals are mandatory, use exports and evidence rather than duplicating systems.
### How should currencies and exchange rates be handled in a centralized model?
Store transaction currency and a reporting currency, apply time-stamped exchange rates from a consistent source, and avoid double conversions. Surface FX impacts explicitly in reconciliations and performance metrics.
