Business intelligence (BI) tools went mainstream in 2016. Those modern helpers are now capable to visualize all of your eCommerce data and users are starting to take this for granted. If you look at it closely, this “is” a sure sign of BI belonging to the commodity area.
Seems like WooCommerce releases and new functions got into a higher gear – newly merged development team is reaping the benefits of its parent company – Automattic. Let’s see what’s in store for their new release 2.7 which is scheduled to be out of Beta in February 2017.
