Enterprise-Grade eCommerce Tracking, Attribution & Sales Recovery

UNICENTRO is one of Paraguay’s largest retail chains, operating a powerful eCommerce presence via VTEX Headless CMS. With thousands of SKUs and high daily order volumes, they’re a national leader in fashion, lifestyle, and retail, but their data was breaking down where it mattered most.

We didn’t "just fix the tags." We reverse-engineered platform expectations, re-aligned the data model with GA4/Ads/VTEX standards, and built a future-proof signal system.

GA4 Tracking Accuracy

65%

Google Merchant Listings

18,400+

The Problem

UNICENTRO was facing a critical attribution failure:
❌ Fragmented tracking with no visibility on micro-conversions
❌ 40–50% mismatch between actual purchases and GA4 data
❌ VTEX eCommerce data not matching front-end GA4 metrics
❌ Google Ads & Meta remarketing based on incomplete signals
❌ Thousands of products are unlisted in the Merchant Center

Our Solution

We deployed an end-to-end scalable data architecture that fixed the root, not just the symptoms.
Technical Execution:
  • GA4 + GTM Full Overhaul
  • Built robust client-side + server-side tracking across all funnel steps
  • Setup sGTM on Google Cloud Run for cost-optimized, scalable hosting
  • Implemented durable identity logic (GCLID, FBCLID, uid stitching)
  • Micro-Touchpoint Event Tracking
  • View Item, Add to Cart, Checkout Steps, Purchase
  • Internal Promotions, Site Search, Filter Clicks
  • Scroll depth, login/register events for funnel segmentation
  • eCommerce Accuracy Fix
  • Aligned all VTEX purchase events with GA4 schema
  • Achieved 80%–95% data accuracy in GA4 after setup
  • Google Merchant Center Cleanup
  • Identified & patched missing feed attributes
  • Reinstated over 23,000 products, previously rejected/unlisted
  • Set up automated supplemental feeds to maintain listing quality
  • Looker Studio Dashboards (Unified Analytics)
  • Integrated GA4 + Google Ads + Meta + VTEX via third-party connectors
  • Built executive-level and granular eCommerce performance dashboards
  • Enabled daily revenue/ROAS/checkout drop-off visibility
