Our team has built a SaaS system for gathering information from various online resources. The examples of resources are Facebook, Twitter, Google Analytics, Google AdWords and MailChimp. The system is based on marketing algorithms and is intended for tracking traffic and sales statistics as well as other criteria of an e-business success rate. All the statistics is displayed as illustrative graphs. The system analyzes the data and makes (linear) forecasts.
