Marketing data warehouse for modeled reporting and BI

Metric Hive prepares warehouse-ready marketing and commerce datasets by connecting source data, preserving source context, applying semantic contracts, and exporting governed models. The goal is clean reporting data for BI and data teams, not another set of raw connector dumps.

Source data Store marketing, analytics, commerce, payment, CRM, and operational records with source provenance.
Modeled datasets Expose canonical entities, field names, metric grains, date semantics, and currency policies.
BI readiness Send governed data to warehouse and BI destinations with definitions that analysts can inspect.
Warehouse model

Modeled data for recurring analysis

A marketing data warehouse works better when it contains both source traceability and business-ready datasets. Metric Hive keeps semantic contracts close to the export surface so analysts do not need to guess what a field means.

Marketing performance facts

Ad platform and campaign performance data can be modeled by account, source, campaign, ad, date, device, country, or other supported grains.

UseBuild cross-channel reporting from spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, and revenue inputs.
CaveatAttribution windows and platform definitions should remain visible.

Commerce modeled facts

Commerce datasets can expose orders, order lines, product identity, revenue, refunds, cost rules, and profit outputs when readiness evidence supports them.

UseAnalyze profit and revenue alongside marketing inputs.
CaveatProfit fields should show cost completeness, materialization freshness, and validation status.

Canonical dimensions

Shared dimensions such as source, account, date, campaign, product, country, currency, and customer help BI users filter across modeled datasets.

UseKeep warehouse reporting consistent across dashboards and teams.
CaveatNot every source supports every dimension at every grain.

Semantic metrics

Metrics should carry aggregation behavior, denominator rules, date basis, and currency policy so downstream reports can use them safely.

UseReduce dashboard drift across internal BI, spreadsheets, exports, and product surfaces.
CaveatRates and ratios should be recomputed from governed numerators and denominators.

Destinations

BigQuery and BI-ready exports

Warehouse destinations are most valuable when the exported tables are already shaped for analysis. Metric Hive positions BigQuery and BI exports as governed outputs from modeled datasets.

Exportable models

Exported datasets should include clear names, stable fields, account scope, date basis, source provenance, and validation context where relevant.

BI-friendly fields

Analysts should be able to use canonical dimensions and metrics without rebuilding source-specific joins or metric formulas in every dashboard.

Warehouse ownership

Teams can keep governed Metric Hive outputs alongside their own internal models, finance data, and operational warehouse workflows.

Governance

A warehouse contract buyers can inspect

A warehouse export should say what data is involved, what business question it answers, what grain it uses, and what can go wrong if the model is used naively.

Grain labels

Campaign-day, order, order-line, customer, and cohort datasets should be labeled so analysts do not join incompatible tables by accident.

Metric behavior

Additive metrics, ratios, unique counts, and modeled outputs need different aggregation rules in BI and warehouse queries.

Scope and access

Exports should preserve tenant, account, source, and subscription boundaries from backend authorization and export services.

FAQ

Marketing data warehouse questions

Warehouse-ready marketing data should be modeled enough for analysis and traceable enough for debugging.

What is a marketing data warehouse?

A marketing data warehouse stores and models marketing, analytics, commerce, and operational data so teams can query governed datasets in BI, exports, and downstream workflows.

Why export modeled data instead of raw connector tables?

Modeled data carries canonical field names, grains, date semantics, metric behavior, and source caveats. Raw tables are still useful for inspection, but they make every downstream tool rebuild definitions.

How does BigQuery fit?

BigQuery can be a destination for warehouse-ready exports where teams want governed marketing and commerce datasets available for BI, analysis, or data engineering workflows.
