Replicate Shopee to Snowflake in minutes  

Do you want to transfer data from Shopee to Snowflake instantly? Here is an easy solution for this data migration process using an ETL tool: Daton.

eCommerce businesses’ main goal is to decrease losses by becoming more data-driven. Companies believe in understanding the market’s demand and supply trends and analyzing data by collecting it from the Shopee e-commerce platform and other apps. Shopee generates vital data like store overview, merchandising, customer info, orders reports, and abandoned cart details. Companies use these data to find improvement areas. However, it is challenging to manually integrate several tools that companies use together for calculation and analysis purposes. Thus, replicate your Shopee data to Snowflake to enhance your campaigns and integrate it with analytics, engagement, customer support, billing, and sales data to estimate your true ROI. Online retailers reduce the time & effort of consolidating their multiple data silos by integrating data from various sources into a data warehouse using powerful ETL tools like Daton.

 

Why integrate Shopee to Snowflake?

Let’s take an example to understand why integrating our Shopee data to Snowflake is a must. Suppose a Shopee seller is selling his products across south-east Asian countries. While operating in different regions, the seller’s Shopee account will generate many data from different data silos like marketing, inventories, payment gateways, logistic channels and target audience in each country; sellers will also use other apps for calculation and analysis. For example, now, while calculating the expense of his business, a seller will use the following formula:

Profits/Losses = Sales – Expenses.

The seller will gather expense data from various data fields like inventory data from software like Olabi, Vinculum. Then, collect the marketing costs from Google Adwords, Facebook Ads, and other expense data from account software like Freshbook for each country. And pulling all these data together in a single platform for calculation and analysis is an expensive, time-consuming and complicated process. Especially if the seller is selling his products in different countries, then this process has to be repeated. Therefore, you also may not get an accurate result due to the time lag because the obtained data is not in real-time, which decreases the overall accuracy of the analysis. Therefore, you must consolidate all your data in one platform in the data warehouse like Snowflake to simplify the process to optimize your business performance. Daton is a powerful ETL tool that effortlessly transfers data from Shopee to Snowflake.

How to replicate Shopee to Snowflake? 

Here are two approaches you can use to replicate Shopee data to the Snowflake data warehouse. These approaches will not only allow you to evaluate the pros and cons of both but also, help choose the one that best suits your requirement.

Build your own data pipeline

This process needs a lot of experience and consumes time and manpower. Hence, the chances of getting errors are more due to multiple integrated steps to be executed one after the other. Therefore, you need to extract data using Shopee APIs & then connect it properly with the Snowflake data warehouse. In conclusion, this whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires regular intervention that makes it cumbersome.
