Founded in Sweden in 1990, Oatly began selling direct-to-consumer in the U.S. in 2017 - and consumer demand far exceeded their expectations. The summer of 2018 saw the "Great Oatmilk Shortage," as Oatly worked to increase manufacturing capacity.

In early 2019, Oatly expanded their manufacturing capabilities with new facilities and began to scale their ecommerce operations, including reintroducing a subscription model. However, without a way to gather data, the Oatly.com team was relying on spreadsheets and manual calculations for reporting, and found it hard to access critical KPIs like lifetime value, monthly recurring revenue and repeat customer rate

Realizing they needed a better reporting and analytics solution, Oatly started using Glew in early 2020. They found that Glew had everything they needed to report on their ecommerce and subscription performance, in an easy, intuitive interface.

Powerful Shopify and Amazon integrations help Oatly track all of their ecommerce sales in one place. Performance analytics enable them to understand which channels are driving revenue and customer acquisition, and when they need to dial back or ramp up advertising to ensure sustainable growth. Plus, subscription dashboards help Oatly measure recurring revenue and break out subscriptions and one-time purchases.
