Closient tracks how your products appear in search results and how consumers interact with your Digital Link barcodes. Analytics help you understand where your products are being scanned, which products get the most attention, and how your data quality compares.

Dashboard Overview

The main Dashboard shows key metrics at a glance:
  • Total scans — Digital Link barcode scans across all products
  • Search impressions — how often your products appear in search results
  • Product completeness — data quality score across your catalog
  • Active locations — stores with recent inventory data

Scan Analytics

When consumers or partners scan your 2D barcodes, Closient records:
Data PointDescription
ProductWhich GTIN was scanned
TimeWhen the scan occurred
LocationGeographic coordinates (if available from the scanner)
Batch/SerialLot or serial number if encoded in the barcode
ReferrerWhat app or scanner was used

Use Cases

  • Recall tracking — monitor scan activity on recalled batches to gauge consumer awareness
  • Campaign measurement — track scans during promotional periods using time-based filters
  • Geographic distribution — see where your products are being scanned on a map
  • Authentication — detect unexpected scan patterns that may indicate counterfeiting

Search Performance

When your products appear in Closient search results, impressions are tracked:
MetricDescription
ImpressionsNumber of times the product appeared in search results
PositionAverage ranking position in search results
Click-throughHow often users selected your product from results
DistanceAverage distance between searcher and your store
Search results are ranked primarily by geographic proximity (closest first), with relevance as a gate — so your impression count is strongly influenced by how many stores carry your product and where they’re located.

Product Completeness

The completeness score measures how much data is filled in for each product:
ScoreMeaning
90-100%Excellent — all key fields populated with high confidence
70-89%Good — most fields filled, some gaps
50-69%Needs attention — missing important fields
Below 50%Poor — minimal data available
Fields that impact completeness: product name, brand, description, image, category, country of origin, net content, dimensions, and weight.

Exporting Data

Analytics data can be exported from the Dashboard as CSV for further analysis. Go to any analytics view and click Export. Available exports:
  • Scan events (with timestamps, locations, GTINs)
  • Search impressions (with queries, positions, locations)
  • Product completeness report
