BIGATOM by AdYogi: E-Commerce Analytics and SKU-Level ROAS Optimization for VERO MODA
Case Study: Strategies used by Vero Moda with AdYogi
Scaling D2C Catalogue Spends Profitably on Meta & Google While Reducing Discount Dependency and Operational Complexity
Key Results
By executing AI-powered catalogue intelligence via AdYogi's BigAtom platform, Vero Moda successfully optimized complex digital campaigns for over 30k+ SKUs, decreasing average discount dependency from 45% to 38%, driving a 20% reduction in wasted ad spends, and securing ~80% higher ROAS using Smart Carousel formats.
Overview
As a leading international women's fashion brand operating a massive inventory across 15+ product categories, Vero Moda recognized the critical need to aggressively scale its Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) channels. However, managing catalogue marketing across hundreds of active product styles manually presented major roadblocks. Spends often saturated specific items while ignoring new collection launches, severely limiting margin optimization and scaling speed.
To overcome these scale constraints, Vero Moda partnered with AdYogi to integrate the BigAtom platform—an AI-powered catalogue intelligence and automation layer built specifically to drive high-performance bidding, custom dynamic merchandising overlays, and automated stop-loss guardrails across Meta & Google.

Detailed Scaling Challenges
01 Heavy Reliance on Discount-Led Sales
A significant portion of D2C ecommerce revenue was driven through aggressive promotional discounts. While this cleared excess volume, it limited overall margin expansion, built a high shopper dependency on seasonal offers, and caused unstable performance whenever discounts were reduced.
02 Inefficient Catalogue Scaling
Meta and Google's native algorithms lack deep product-level merchandising intelligence. Consequently, ad budgets were disproportionately allocated to a small percentage of existing bestsellers, leaving high-potential new arrivals entirely unscaled and starving for exposure.
03 Inventory Inefficiencies at Variant Level
In fashion commerce, products are often marked "In Stock" on standard feeds despite core size-variants (the most common converted sizes) being entirely sold out. Native ad networks kept driving paid traffic to these broken product listings, resulting in high drop-off rates and wasted ad spends.
04 Creative Fatigue Across Large Catalogues
Static catalogue creatives quickly lose engagement in competitive news feeds. Furthermore, native overlay implementations presented major operational issues: updating overlays triggered campaign learning resets, failed to adapt dynamically to product frames, and disrupted premium brand aesthetics.
The BigAtom Solution
1. Unified Product Intelligence
BigAtom bridged native reporting silos by combining Shopify, Meta, Google, and GA4 data streams. This enabled Vero Moda to move budget allocations away from broad campaign averages and prioritize high-margin, high-converting SKUs that held strong organic traction.
2. Automated Spend Control with Stop-Loss Rules
To prevent saturated products from consuming excess budgets, automated stop-loss logic was configured. The platform continuously monitored SKU-level ROAS trends and automated execution rules:
- Exclusion rule: Automatically exclude products where weekly spends exceed ₹5,000 and ROAS falls below 3.5X.
- Inclusion rule: Automatically promote items when organic revenue exceeds ₹1,000 and conversion rate rises above 2%.
3. Inventory-Aware Catalogue Automation
The platform analyzed size-level inventory depth and variant-to-revenue contribution patterns. Items missing core sizes or major color ranges were automatically deprioritized on ad delivery feeds until warehouse replenishment occurred, preserving precious budget.
4. Creative Automation & Smart Overlays
Rule-based overlays and background refreshes were automatically applied at scale across active catalog listings. These custom overlays adjusted dynamically to individual product frames without ever resetting Meta's active campaign learning phases.
