Founded in 1989, Petrol Industries began with the founders selling belts door-to-door from their car trunk. Today, they’re a well-established European fashion brand with 2,700 retail locations across the continent. Originating from the Netherlands, Petrol Industries sells through wholesalers and marketplaces across Europe. About 1.5 years ago, they migrated to Shopify to scale their direct-to-consumer (DTC) and marketplace efforts internationally.
Despite impressive growth in their direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel, Petrol Industries faced significant gaps in the data being delivered to their advertising platforms. Key conversions such as purchase, initiate checkout, and add-to-cart were not being tracked accurately. These discrepancies became apparent when comparing Shopify data with the reporting from the advertising platforms.
“There were obvious gaps between the conversions Shopify showed us and the amount of conversions reported in the advertising platforms.”
In addition to missing conversions, the quality of the conversion and event data was also insufficient. The Meta Event Match Quality Score was consistently low, with many events scoring between 3.5/10 and 5.5/10. This indicated a significant opportunity to improve the accuracy and quality of the data being measured and delivered to the advertising platforms.
Low-quality, incomplete data results in ineffective ad spend. Advertising platform algorithms rely on accurate, comprehensive data for optimal targeting and performance. To address these data gaps and optimize their ad spend, Petrol Industries turned to TrackBee’s advanced tracking and data solutions.
Petrol Industries needed a solution that not only tracked missing conversions and events but also enhanced the quality of the data being sent to advertising platforms. By delivering richer, more accurate data, they aimed to optimize the performance of their advertising algorithms.
TrackBee offered Petrol Industries the opportunity to test its server-side tracking and data enrichment capabilities. The two parties agreed on a two-month proof-of-concept, testing during both the low season (August) and high season (September) to evaluate the solution’s performance across different market conditions. Petrol Industries tested TrackBee with their Meta account and one Google Ads account to evaluate its effectiveness on these platforms.

Let’s dive a little deeper into each advertising channel 👇
After implementing TrackBee, Petrol Industries saw an impressive 100% increase in ROAS for Meta ads. The server-side tracking and data enrichment not only captured missing conversions but also significantly improved the quality of data sent to the platform. Before TrackBee, Meta’s Event Match Quality Score ranged from 3.5/10 to 5.5/10. With TrackBee’s accurate data, this score drastically improved.
