Before Avo, tracking was one of the most time-consuming parts of my job. Now product managers take ownership of the event structure and I review and approve. It’s much faster—and way less painful.

Common questions

Is Avo a Customer Data Platform (CDP)?

Avo does not collect and route your data to other destinations so, no, Avo is not a CDP. Avo makes sure that the tracking calls you make to your CDP or analytics tool are according to spec so that you can make product decisions based on quality data.

What is a tracking plan?

A tracking plan is a central document that everyone in your organisation can refer to for data management best practices. It standardises the events and properties you track, determines where within the code your analytics should be placed, and outlines the reason why each event is being tracked in the first place. I the past, teams have most often managed their tracking plans in Spreadsheets. However, spreadsheets don’t scale and that’s where Avo helps.

Read more in our What is a tracking plan and why do you need one blogpost.

How do branches work?

In Avo there is the main tracking plan that acts as a source of truth for your production data structures. You can branch out from the tracking plan, creating a draft state of the main one, to make changes without affecting others. Once the suggested changes have been reviewed, approved and implemented, you merge the branch, updating the main tracking plan to include your changes. Read more about branches in our docs.
