About Parachute Home
Parachute is a lifestyle brand designed to make people feel at home. The multi-category home company offers products that are thoughtfully designed in Los Angeles and expertly manufactured by craftspeople around the globe, using only premium quality materials. Parachute was founded in 2014, focused on bedding. The brand has since expanded throughout the home, including furniture, mattress, bath, rugs, lighting, decor, and apparel. Parachute also operates 26 retail stores nationwide.
The Challenge: Limited data samples miss both problems and prospects
Parachute Home’s engineers had used other monitoring tools to track events and behaviors across hundreds of millions of page views every month. But these vendors’ enterprise licenses set hard limits on how much data Parachute Home could ingest and store to stay within their agreed pricing. As a result, engineers often had only 1% to 10% of the entire ecosystem’s event data available for analysis.
In a fractional data set, many problems and opportunities simply don’t exist. Engineers might never know that pages in, say, the bathrobes section are loading content that causes latency or even error messages for shoppers. A 100-millisecond delay on a bathrobe’s product page can cause a few percent of would-be buyers to give up. An error message is a sale-killer. Sampling or filtering data to keep the cost down could let a costly sporadic or isolated problem go undetected.
“If you can only send 10 million events a month, that’s not enough for large organizations or even a website on which you’re trying to gather information.”

The Solution: Axiom lets them keep and search everything
Axiom’s breakthrough technology delivers the performance and pricing that lets Parachute Home engineers load 100% of their event data. Is one particular page loading slowly? They can investigate why. Do videos or other marketing materials added to specific pages or even specific products slow them, enough to account for customers not buying those products as expected?
Parachute Home engineers can present summaries from complete activity data to the marketing and creative teams. Measurements and logs replace guesswork. Having the full hard data helps spawn ideas and plans. They might compare several home page changes, or look into more efficient video encoding.
They can also perform complete A/B testing of changes and new ideas, without extra work to collect the data they need to compare outcomes.
By making 100% data observability both possible and affordable, Axiom doesn’t only help Parachute Home spot problems, it helps them create new opportunities to even better delight their customers.
