Hi there, Wouldn't proper google analytics integration tell you everything you need to know? It has custom variables / segmentation to help you decide exactly 'why' your sales are going up.
However, the best ecommerce package in the world won't tell you what your google ranking is, which can be a major reason for sales climbing. As for ruby on rails ecommerce, I haven't seen a package with really good reporting. Spree has a nice dashboard, but I would still rely on google analytics for proper intelligence.
