Trackingplan ensures your data always arrive according to your specifications and automatically warns you when it detects missing events or properties or any data format problem.

Moreover, you can also set up any kind of complex validation setting, like validating whether all products logged in a cart carry a valid product_sku given the page section, with custom validation functions.
