What is SourceMedium?

The fully integrated data stack for e-commerce. It unifies commerce, marketing, subscription, and operational data into a managed BigQuery foundation with direct access to modeled tables.

How does SourceMedium differ from building in-house?

A custom stack leaves connector, model, quality, and documentation maintenance with your team. SourceMedium manages the foundation, and custom analytics beyond the agreed scope is separately scoped.

How does SourceMedium differ from other analytics apps?

Most analytics apps keep data and metric logic inside their own product. SourceMedium provides direct query access to modeled BigQuery tables. Analytical AI answers can expose their SQL, while documentation and methodology answers cite governing sources.
